He changed the team\u2019s formation, fielding a 4-2-3-1 with two defensive midfielders in the first half and a 4-1-2-3 with one holding midfielder and two interiors in front of him after the interval. The \u201cDouble-Headed Eagle\u201d played well for most of the match, passing the ball fluently, creating danger in AFC Ajax\u2019s box and scoring twice. But some errors and sloppiness in their defense allowed the Dutch side to score some cheap goals and eventually win. <\/p>\n<p>The home side started stronger. In the 4th minute, \u010cern\u00fd was denied by the post, but one minute later, Mazraoui\u2019s excellent drive first hit the post and then went into the net for AFC Ajax\u2019s opener. PAOK tried to react, but their rivals\u2019 relentless pressing didn\u2019t allow them to play their game. In the 26th minute, the Dutch doubled their lead with a header by Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.<\/p>\n<p>Nine minutes later, <strong>Aleksandar Prijovi\u0107<\/strong> wasted a glorious opportunity to reduce distances, misfiring from close range. Momentum shifted in the 37th minute. AFC Ajax were awarded a penalty after a foul of <strong>Pedro Henrique<\/strong>, <strong>Rodrigo Rey<\/strong> produced a spectacular save on his unofficial PAOK debut and, from then on, the \u201cDouble-Headed Eagle\u201d took the reins of the encounter. They advanced their lines, pressured their rivals and created chances to scor. In the 38th minute, they got on the scoreboard with a header by <strong>Fernando Varela<\/strong> on a cross by <strong>R\u00f3bert Mak<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>After the interval, PAOK kept the initiative and managed to equalize with a beautiful header by Prijovi\u0107, fed by <strong>Dorian L\u00e9v\u00eaque<\/strong>. Stanojevi\u0107\u2019s men were enthusiastic, won their duels and searched for a third goal. Against the run of play though, Cassierra found himself unmarked in PAOK\u2019s box and beat Rey to make it 3-2 for the home side. The two coaches shuffled their packs, but that didn\u2019t disrupt the fast pace of the encounter. In the 87th minute, <strong>L\u00e9o Matos<\/strong> charged into Ajax\u2019s area from the right, but his shot was denied by the post. Two minutes later, Fleming made it 4-2 with a close-range finish.<\/p>\n<p>PAOK line-up:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rey<\/strong>, <strong>\u039catos<\/strong>, <strong>Varela<\/strong>, <strong>Crespo<\/strong>, <strong>Leovac<\/strong> (46&#8242; <strong>L\u00e9v\u00eaque<\/strong>), <strong>Ca\u00f1as<\/strong>, <strong>Cimirot<\/strong> (46&#8242; <strong>Shakhov<\/strong>), <strong>Biseswar<\/strong> (46&#8242; <strong>Campos<\/strong>), <strong>Henrique<\/strong> (41&#8242; <strong>Pelkas<\/strong>), <strong>\u039cak<\/strong> (64&#8242; <strong>Jairo<\/strong>), <strong>Prijovi\u0107<\/strong> (84&#8242; <strong>\u039aoulouris<\/strong>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The \u201cDouble-Headed Eagle\u201d lost 4-2 to AFC Ajax in their last friendly encounter in the Netherlands.
