It’s one of those away games that always has the potential to cause problems, but PAOK<\/strong> showed that they were readyfor the challenge, both physically and mentally. They were also well-read, and of course completely focused.<\/p>\n

Razvan Lucescu’s<\/strong> team started the game strongly but it was OFI<\/strong> who created the first chance of the game, with Pavlenka<\/strong> saving a shot by Shengelia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the 10th minute, PAOK<\/strong> took the lead and never looked back. Baba<\/strong> passed to Ozdoev<\/strong> and he fired in a cross-shot towards the opposing goal from a wide position, no one made contact and the ball ended up in the back of the net.<\/p>\n

OFI<\/strong> tried to respond immediately but the ‘goal’ they scored was ruled out for offside. Nuss <\/strong>had a good opportunity, but he sent the ball over the crosbar, with Pelkas<\/strong> then making it 2-0 to PAOK <\/strong>in the 24th minute.<\/p>\n

Ozdoev<\/strong> pushed high, made the tackle and provided an assist to Pelkas<\/strong>, who scored with a low, placed effort to double his team’s lead.<\/p>\n

Pelkas<\/strong> then had two more good chances before the half-time break, but the 2-0 scoreline remained.<\/p>\n

In the second half, PAOK<\/strong> came out strong and looked to extend their lead, with Christogeorgos<\/strong> bringing down Giakoumakis<\/strong>, but eventually the Greek<\/strong> forward was ruled to be in an offside position at the beginning of the phase of play.<\/p>\n

Giakoumakis<\/strong> had another good moment in the 64th minute but could not find the net while shortly afterwards Michailides<\/strong> won his team a penalty after he fired in a shot which struck a defender’s arm with the referee pointing to the spot. Christogeorgos<\/strong> saved Andrija Zivkovic’s<\/strong> effort from 12 yards, however.<\/p>\n

In the 75th minute, OFI<\/strong> found a way to get back into the game with Nuss<\/strong> scoring following a corner kick. The goal gave the home team players a morale boost and they pushed for an equalizer.\u00a0However, PAOK<\/strong> held on, keeping a clear mind and managing the rest of the game well to get an important three points.<\/p>\n

Team lineups:<\/p>\n

OFI: Christogeorgos, Gonzalez, Hadjitheodoridis, Lambropoulos, Krismanic, Androutsos, Theodosoulakis (46′ Salcedo), Karachalios (68′ Rakoniac), Nuss (90+1 Faitakis), Shengelia (89′ Apostolakis), Fountas (68′ Neira).<\/p>\n
