Greek fans lose control after Fenerbahce stuns Panathinaikos late

Turkish club Fenerbahce Beko secured an 85-83 away victory over Panathinaikos AKTOR in the EuroLeague, Europe’s top-tier club basketball competition, after Wade Baldwin scored the decisive basket with 2.5 seconds remaining. However, the final moments quickly turned tense as players confronted each other on the court.

Tensions escalated immediately after Baldwin’s basket when Panathinaikos French center Mathias Lessort approached and pushed him, triggering a confrontation between players from both teams.

The situation intensified further as some Panathinaikos supporters threw objects toward Fenerbahce players from the stands, adding to the chaotic scene inside the OAKA arena.

Turkish international Cedi Osman, who plays for Panathinaikos, stepped in to calm his teammates while also helping move Fenerbahce players away from the immediate area to prevent further escalation.

Lessort later attempted to confront Fenerbahce players again in the arena corridor, while Biberovic briefly stepped in front of television cameras and blocked an interview area during the aftermath. Team officials and security personnel eventually intervened, bringing the situation under control.

Fenerbahce keeps top position

Tarik Biberovic led Fenerbahce with 26 points, finishing as the game’s top scorer and playing a central role in the team’s offensive performance.

With the win, Fenerbahce maintained its position at the top of the EuroLeague standings.

The team, coached by Sarunas Jasikevicius, improved its record to 20 wins and 7 losses after 27 games and extended its winning streak to seven consecutive matches.

Panathinaikos, coached by Turkish national team head coach Ergin Ataman, remained ninth in the standings with 16 wins and 12 losses following the defeat.
