Or perhaps it was these things that made the match what it was. Because <strong>PAOK&#8217;s<\/strong> response was stellar. With patience, maturity and passion, the hosts took the game by the scruff of its neck. One of the main protagonists was the <strong>Golden Boy <\/strong>once more. <strong>Christos Tziolis<\/strong> with his quality, and his ability to be a killer when given space. And the final 2-0 score against <strong>Asteras Tripolis<\/strong> was another example.<\/p>\n<p>The coaching team opted to rotate the squad, with <strong>Ingason<\/strong>, <b>Michailidis <\/b>and <strong>Giannoulis<\/strong> in the starting XI, playing in front of <strong>Paschalakis<\/strong>, while <strong>Douglas<\/strong> returned to the team alongside <strong>Schwab<\/strong> and <strong>El Kaddouri <\/strong>in midfield.<\/p>\n<p>PAOK took control of the match from the start, keeping the ball well, but without creating much in the way of a route to goal to threaten <strong>Papadopoulos <\/strong>in the <strong>Asteras <\/strong>goal apart from a header from <strong>Ingason<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>After 20 minutes came the first obstacle. <strong>Rodrigo Soares<\/strong> limped out of the match injured and caused the coaching team to change their plans. As if that wasn&#8217;t enough, after 35 minutes <strong>Omar El Kaddouti<\/strong> reacted badly in a duel with <strong>Borja<\/strong> after a phase of play in which the <strong>Moroccan<\/strong> protested for a penalty, and he was shown a red card from <strong>Fotia<\/strong>. The first half ended without a goal from either side, with PAOK seemingly on the ropes with a player less.<\/p>\n<p>The pattern of the game changed completely in the second half. The <strong>Double-headed Eagle<\/strong> players came out in determined mood, managing to handle the numerical disadvantage perfectly, chasing down and closing the spaces at the back, while looking to break on the counter attack.<\/p>\n<p>After <strong>Schwab<\/strong> failed to hit the target from a good position with a header and <strong>Andrija Zivkovic<\/strong> hit the post in the 59th minute, it was up to <strong>Tziolis<\/strong> to provide the solution and claim the limelight.<\/p>\n<p>Just moments after the visitors went close through <b>Regis, <\/b>the young Greek forward picked up possession and went off on a mazy run which ended with him sending a brilliant shot past Papadopoulos in the 64th minute. Then just six minutes later he broke through the <strong>Asteras <\/strong>defence before being brought down by <strong>Pasalidis <\/strong>in the penalty box, with <strong>Fotia<\/strong> pointing to the spot. <strong>Zivkovic<\/strong> stepped up to slot the penalty home and make it 2-0.<\/p>\n<p>The remainder of the match saw PAOK hold on firmly to their lead, with the visitors failing to pose a dangerous threat to <strong>Paschalakis&#8217;<\/strong> goal with the exception of a free-kick from <strong>Gomes<\/strong> in the 90th minute.<\/p>\n<p>That meant that <strong>PAOK<\/strong> celebrated its fifth win in a row in the league, a result which saw the <strong>Double-headed Eagle<\/strong> up to second place, with the next challenge of the agenda coming next Thursday with the final match of the <strong>Europa League<\/strong> against <strong>Granada<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Team-lineups:<\/p>\n<p>PAOK: <strong>Paschalakis<\/strong>, <b>Rodrigo <\/b>(21\u2019 <strong>Wague<\/strong>), <strong>Ingason<\/strong>, <strong>Michailidis<\/strong>, <strong>Giannoulis<\/strong>, <strong>Schwab<\/strong>, <strong>Douglas<\/strong>, <strong>El Kaddouri<\/strong>, <strong>\u0391.\u0396ivkovic <\/strong>(88\u2019 <strong>Murg<\/strong>), <b>Tzolis <\/b>(88\u2019 <strong>Crespo<\/strong>), <b>Swiderski <\/b>(68\u0384 <strong>Tsiggaras<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>Asteras Tripolis: Papadopoulos, Garcia, Suarez, (60\u2019 Pasalidis), Castano, Alvarez (60\u2019 Tasoulis), Valiente (60\u2019 Iglesias), Fernandez (78\u2019 Gomez), Tilica, Riera, Sito (78\u2019 Tzimas), Crespi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After the disappointment of Thursday in Europe, PAOK faced a tough challenge at the Toumba, one of those matches where players need to show character.
