Unrecognizable in the first half but dominant in the second, PAOK turned it around at the expense of the score against Lamia, which it defeated 3-1 tonight in Toumba.
The guests “froze” Toumba in the 7th minute. Keziora-Kotarski did not coordinate properly with the Croatian goalkeeper making a wrong exit and Martinez stealing the ball and sending it into the net (0-1).
In the 16th minute, Tsiloulis scored, but the score did not count, as it was indicated in an offside position. In the 18th minute, Lamia was again close to the goal with Slivkas missing with a header. Another great opportunity for the team of L. Vokolos was lost in the 21st minute. Tsiloulis laid the ball to Lake, who made a poor finish.
The phases of Lamia woke up, if only for a while, the hosts who threatened in the 24th minute. Živkovic passed to Konstantelia on the right, he lobbed, but Simon cleared before the ball crossed the line and then stopped Ozdoev as well.
In the 40th minute, Lake counter-attacked, changed the game by passing to Sidclay who was on the left, he made the cross, with Keziora catching the ball in front of Tsiloulis, conceding a corner.
Where everything showed that no more goals would be scored in the half, Dikefalos equalized in stoppage time. Živković executed a corner and Michailidis beat Koselev with a header (1-1). The PAOK defender dedicated the goal to his father who passed away a few days ago.
In the 51st minute, Ozdoev made a dangerous shot with Koselev clearing the danger.
The hosts pressed for the second goal and missed classic chances. In the 62nd minute, Tyson committed a free kick, Samata got the header, but it was narrowly missed. In the next minute, Koselev fired after Živković’s turn, then he blocked his shot and missed from close range! But in the 70th minute, PAOK reached the turning point. Zivkovic turned the ball over to Schwab who shot from outside the area to beat the excellent Koselev to make it 2-1.
The victory of the “two-headed” was sealed in the 87th minute by Schwab. Penalty won by Samata from Cornezos. In fact, the fans of the “two-headed” team were rhythmically chanting Samata’s name, but Lucescu ordered the penalty to be taken by Schwab. Last good phase in the match, Baba’s crossbar at 90’+3’…
Al. Katsikogiannis showed a yellow card to Tzanetopoulos, Santana, Tsiloulis.
