The match
The hosts came in with a willingness to push, but, at least until 10 minutes, the Austrians with good circulation easily pulled the ball out of their area. In the next few minutes, PAOK players settled around the area of Nicholas Polter, but without creating a significant phase. On the contrary, at 17 ′, Jiri Pavlenca fired 0-1. Simon Pizzer stole in the midfield and fueled Emmanuel Angiemang, who at the ideal moment went to Timos Balos, but the 23 -year -old was “defeated” by the Czech goalkeeper.
Three minutes later Wolfsberger threatened again when Donis Avdiya crossed the ball over Madi Kamaras, but on the shot from the penalty shoot -out, the ball went down and left over the beams of Pavlenca. Opportunities for the guests were trimmed at 37 ′: Yiannis Michaelides’ mistake in the midfield, René Renner pulled Balos Tet with Pavlonka, but the PAOK goalkeeper again came out. The half time was completed without ending as Dominic Baumgartner’s head after Rener’s cross had no power.
Despite the image of his team, Lutsescu did not make any changes to the respite. The Romanian technician could be immediately justified in the counterattack of 49 ′, but Avdiya caught Andriya Zivkovic after Tyson’s race. Or if Jonzo Kenny’s volley was more apt in 53 ′ or Yiannis Constantelia’s shot at 60 ′, at a time when PAOK wanted to push, in particular with static phases. Not that Wolfsberger was left with his arms crossed, as at 55 ′ from the penalty shootout, Avdiya shot high. Two minutes later, in three phase against Three, Michaelides put a key promotion on the place attempted by Alessandro Sepf.
Ditmar Koubauer’s players have tried to play with time, with the coaches of both teams starting their interventions in the last 25 minutes. The guests re -threatened at 71 ′, with Angelo Gatermayer’s inappropriate diagonal, but then the game … went out. With Tuba’s 0-0 the two teams will finally solve their… differences in the repeat of next Thursday (14/8, 20:00) at the “Verriera Stadio” in Clagenfurt.
