A goal, three minutes before the end, was enough for PAOK’s U-17 side to claim a 1-0 away win over AEL in Larissa on Saturday afternoon, allowing them to keep clawing away at the gap to the top spot.

The winning goal was scored by Louska via a header in the 87th minute, after a corner kick taken by Lazaridis. It should be noted that in the 27th minute Tentolouris came close to adding to the score but he was denied by the woodwork.

The next game for the U-17 team is an away test against Volos on December 20.

PAOK’s lineup: Nikolaidis, Mischos (77′ Floros), Hatsides, Tsialis, Kalpakis, Gersos (55′ Lazaridis), Tentolouris (88′ Topalidis), Mokos, Souvlatzis, Matera (72′ Louska), Vlachos (72′ Papadopoulos).
