The match
The “yellow -blacks” created early conditions for the goal. Just in the 2nd minute, from a foul by Lamela, Franzi Pierre was found forgotten in the second beam but failed to find the ball. In the 7 ‘, Yiannis Michaelides inspired to hang Alberto Brinioli from the center, but the ball went over the horizontal beam.
In the 20 ‘there was the phase that changed the flow of the race. Zivkovic turned the ball back far, Dominic Koopsky stayed at his hearth and was then forced to overthrow Orbelin Pineda. Felix Brich initially showed red in the Croatian goalkeeper, but once the violation was inside the area, he pointed a penalty and a yellow card. Mandalos scored for 1-0.
The persistence of Yiannis Constantelia and Mandalos ‘poor appreciation brought a first suspicion of PAOK in the 35′. At the end of the first half, from Mandalos’ cross, Pierre took the head, Coarnsky instinctively fired and in the return, Arold Mukoundi scored in a vacuum. However, the goal was canceled using the semi-automatic offside (for the first time in Greece) as the French stopper was exposed to the start of the phase, with 1-0 remaining.
But for a while, however … in the first seconds of the second half, Jonson stole from Abdul Rahman Baba, Ganezos Buck cut the first year, but the ball arrived at Lamela that ideally made it 2-0. However, ten minutes later, PAOK came into the match again. Michaelides’ precision transfer to Constantelia, who had forgotten Rota, with the 22-year-old international midfielder passing Brinioli and making it 2-1.
Immediately, Razvan Lutsescu made changes, making his team more aggressive. The “black and white” approached the equalizer in the 64 ‘, when Zivkovic’s shooting, Fedor Chalov “pinched” the ball but passed along with Brinioli’s outbreak. However, in a similar phase, three minutes later, the Serb left back on the back of the defense and defeated the Italian goalkeeper, who had a poor reaction to 2-2.
It was Matthias Almeida’s turn to intervene with his changes in the match, but initially on faces, not a layout. When he did the next two change, Abubakari Koita threatened in the 82 ‘, shooting on the outside of the networks after Pierre’s fine effort. In the 85 ‘, however, the’ black and white ‘completed the overthrow.
Nice energy and vertical pass of Chalov to Pelka, seconds after entering the match, and 2-3 from the 31-year-old international midfielder. Scoring that did not change as the last whistle of Brich, which brought strong disapproval of home fans. AEK remained at 53 points, PAOK rose to 49 and everything is open to European tickets.
