This result brings PAOK\u2019s winning streak at an end and doesn\u2019t allow them to come closer to second place. It wasn\u2019t a quality encounter. Many passes, several turnovers, few opportunities to score, even less substance in the game.<\/p>\n
PAOK were the ones to take the initiative and Levadiakos tried to keep the tempo low and make the most of any counterattacking chances they got.<\/p>\n
Igor Tudor<\/strong> saw Charis Charisis<\/strong> limp out during the warm-up and had to substitute him before kick-off. In the interval, he made two substitutions in order to freshen up his squad. One of the newcomers, Giannis Mystakidis<\/strong>, teed up Stefanos Athanasiadis<\/strong> with a cross from the right, but the Greek striker, though unguarded, sent his header wide.<\/p>\n In the last minutes of the encounter, PAOK applied pressure on Levadiakos who were more than content to cling on the goalless draw. However the finishing of the \u201cDouble-Headed Eagle\u201d left much to be desired. In the 93rd minute, Dimitar Berbatov<\/strong> headed the ball at the back of the net, but referee Aretopoulos disallowed the goal, following the classic Greek patern \u201cwe whistle if it looks like a foul and we\u2019ll check later if there was indeed a contact\u201d\u2026 In reality, Berbatov neither hindered nor held Tripotseris.
