The Cup final opposed lowly AE Larissa (10th in the championship) to Panathinaikos. It was a matter of ambition and pride – of course, Larissa, never winning anything so far, wanted to get a trophy at last. Of course, Panathinaikos had to win something to salvage the season. So, contrary to expectation, it was tough final – eventually Panathinaikos won, but only 1-0. No matter – winners are winners.
The new Cup winners were curiously similar to their arch-enemies Olympiakos: domestic players were the real stars of the team. The foreigners were almost unknown – the Romanian import Nicolae Doru (his name somewhat made sounding Greek – shortened to Nicolae) in his second season with PAO, the Norwegian national team striker Arne Dokken, and two anonymous Argentines – Roberto N. Agueropolis and Juan Ramon Rocha. May be not very impressive squad, but they won the Cup for 7th time.
