The same thing happened at the <strong>Toumba<\/strong> against <strong>Omonia<\/strong>, in <b>Granada, <\/b>and once more at the <strong>GSP Stadium <\/strong>tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Elimination came in <strong>Nicosia<\/strong>, thanks to a 2-1 loss to <strong>Omonia<\/strong>. <strong>PAOK<\/strong> conceded a goal early on and that gave the home side the confidence that they needed as well as put them in a position to park the bus and leave the visitors with the anxiety of having to turn the game around.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Omonia<\/strong> sat back and looked only to break on the counter-attack, managed to handle <strong>PAOK&#8217;s<\/strong> dominance of the game and pressure on their goal, and near the end of the game&#8230; pounced to complete a smash and grab victory &#8211; the club&#8217;s first-ever in the group stages of the Europa League.<\/p>\n<p>A return of just one point from the two matches with <strong>Omonia<\/strong> means that <strong>PAOK<\/strong> do not have anything to play for now &#8211; apart from pride &#8211; in the final game at the <strong>Toumba<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The coaching staff set PAOK up with <strong>Zivkovic<\/strong> in goal, with a back four of <strong>Varela<\/strong> and <strong>Crespo<\/strong> in the center, and <strong>Rodrigo<\/strong> on the left and <strong>Wague<\/strong> on the right. The three-man midfield was made up of <strong>Tsiggaras<\/strong>, <strong>Schwab<\/strong> and <strong>El Kaddouri,<\/strong> while the chosen three in attack were <strong>A. Zivkovic,<\/strong> <strong>Tziolis,<\/strong> and <strong>Swiderski<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PAOK<\/strong> did not start the match well with the necessary urgency, and the <strong>Cypriots<\/strong> managed to spring a complete surprise with <strong>Kakoullis<\/strong> opening the scoring in the ninth minute from the rebound after <strong>Zivkovic <\/strong>had parried a shot.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Double-headed Eagle<\/strong> tried to respond quickly and began to threaten <strong>Fabiano&#8217;s<\/strong> goal. <strong>A. Zivkovic<\/strong> and <strong>Rodrigo<\/strong> tried their luck without success, while <strong>Crespo<\/strong> hit the crossbar in the 34th minute with a header. After 39 minutes, PAOK won possession and <strong>Tzolis<\/strong> scored to make it 1-1.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PAOK<\/strong> made two changes at half-time with <strong>Giannoulis<\/strong> and <strong>Murg<\/strong> replacing <strong>Wague<\/strong> and <strong>Schwab<\/strong>. The opening minutes of the second half had a frantic pace and PAOK created several good opportunities. In the 47th minute, <strong>El Kaddouri <\/strong>missed from a good position, while <strong>Omonia&#8217;s<\/strong> <strong>Sene<\/strong> spurned a one-on-one chance three minutes later with <strong>Zivkovic<\/strong> pulling off a good save. The goalkeeper picked himself up just in time to parry <strong>Tzionis&#8217; <\/strong>follow-up shot onto his right post.<\/p>\n<p>The hosts then were forced to concede both space and possession to <strong>PAOK<\/strong>, with the <strong>Double-headed Eagle<\/strong> players desperately trying to find a winning goal. In the 84th minute, however, <strong>El Kaddouri<\/strong> fouled <strong>Loizou<\/strong> in the penalty area and <strong>Jordi Gomez<\/strong> stepped up to score from the penalty spot to make it 2-1 to <strong>Omonia<\/strong> who celebrated a famous victory.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, <strong>Granada<\/strong> was defeated by <strong>PSV Eindhoven<\/strong> away from home, but combined with <strong>PAOK&#8217;s <\/strong>loss, the <strong>Spaniards<\/strong> qualified to the knockout stages along with their <strong>Dutch<\/strong> opponents, with the last match for <strong>PAOK<\/strong> being of a more procedural nature since only the top two sides can go through.<\/p>\n<p>Team lineups:<\/p>\n<p>Omonia: Fabiano, Kousoullos (59\u2019 Jordi Gomez), Hubocan, Lang, Luftner, Kiko (59\u2019 Lecjaks), Loizou (85\u2019 Asante), Tzionis, Gomes, Kakoullis (21\u2019 Shehu), Sene (59\u2019 Duris).<\/p>\n<p>PAOK: <strong>Zivkovic<\/strong>, <strong>Crespo<\/strong>, <strong>Varela<\/strong>, <b>Wague <\/b>(46\u2019 <strong>Giannoulis<\/strong>), <strong>Rodrigo<\/strong>, <b>Schwab <\/b>(46\u2019 <strong>Murg<\/strong>), <strong>El Kaddouri<\/strong>, <b>Tsiggaras <\/b>(79\u2019 <strong>Biseswar<\/strong>), <strong>\u0391.\u0396ivkovic<\/strong>, <strong>Tziolis<\/strong>, <strong>Swiderski<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When you make errors at this level of European competitions they are usually costly, and so it proved for PAOK who exited the Europa League after losing to Omonia.","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":610116,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1520,5,8627],"tags":[6435,2608,3978,5338,8420,14100],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.5.1 -
