Goals are the essence of football. If spectacular, they bring fans to their feet. Our team didn\u2019t achieve their goals this season, however they did offer us some inspired moments.<\/p>\n
The efforts that earned \u201cGoal of the Month\u201d awards throughout the season as per your vote make the final shortlist. Here are the candidates:<\/p>\n
\u039caarten Martens<\/strong> is our first pick, with his belter against Zimbru Chi\u0219in\u0103u in Toumba Stadium. The Belgian slalomed his way through four rivals and unleashed an unstoppable shot to seal a large victory for PAOK and clinch \u201cBest Goal of August\u201d award.<\/p>\n R\u0103zvan Ra\u021b<\/strong> won the September accolade, with his expertly taken direct free-kick against OFI Crete at Toumba that left no options to the rival goalkeeper.<\/p>\n Stefanos Athanasiadis<\/strong> has two goals competing for Goal of the Season \u2013and they are much alike. He scored the first in the home encounter against Veria, with a side volley from Ra\u021b\u2019s pinpoint cross from the left. The second one was also a side volley, teed up by Skondras, and scored against Platanias.<\/p>\n Facundo Pereyra<\/strong> also netted two goals that made our shortlist \u2013in connecting months. In November, PAOK played host to Panathinaikos at Toumba Stadium and the visitors took the lead. The Argentinian forward came off the bench and leveled the encounter with a direct-free kick.<\/p>\n In December, Facundo Pereyra<\/strong> was on target again. In the clash for top spot of the standings against Olympiacos, the first-half score was 1-1. In the 49th minute, Ergys Kace sent the Argentinian clear and Facundo let the ball take one bounce and then unleashed a stunner to win the match and hand his team three crucial points. Pereyra\u2019s goal was voted Best Goal of December, of the Year 2014 and also topped the poll conducted by Nova TV for Best Goal of the Season. It remains to be seen whether it will earn a fourth accolade.<\/p>\n Christian Noboa<\/strong> joined PAOK during the winter transfer window and introduced himself in the away encounter against Veria with a breathtaking goal. Skondras swung a cross from the left and incoming Noboa finished with aplomb.<\/p>\n Giannis Skondras<\/strong> turned from provider to scorer and gets nominated for the Goal of the Season award with his strike against Panathinaikos at Leoforos. PAOK full-back escaped Nano long enough to net a thumping drive that left Steele flabbergasted, turning things around for PAOK \u2013even temporarily.<\/p>\n Last but not least in our candidates\u2019 list is a player who lifted his performances to assume a more active role in PAOK\u2019s attacking plays. Just before the season finale, he proved he has become a dead-ball specialist. The match at Corfu was nearing to a close and it was looking unlikely that any team would break the deadlock. A direct free-kick proved the turning point of the encounter. Noboa stepped aside and let Ergys Kace<\/strong> to take the free-kick. The Albanian midfielder was successful and earned PAOK three points.<\/p>\n Watch all goals in the video compiled by PAOK TV and vote for your favourite!<\/p>\n
