But, in the end, they succumbed to a dynamic <strong>PAOK <\/strong>side in the closing stages of the second half.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Double-headed Eagle<\/strong> were the bette side in the opening 45 minutes, although chances were at a premium. <strong>Warda<\/strong> failed to beat <strong>AEK<\/strong>goalkeeper <strong>Panagiotis Tsintota<\/strong> in the 26th minute from close range in a one-on-one situation, while a <strong>Karol Swiderski<\/strong> header after 36 minutes hit the side netting of the <strong>\u0391\u0395\u039a <\/strong>goal.<\/p>\n<p>The hosts began the second half in dynamic fashion, aiming to get a goal that would put the tie to bed. After 60 minutes <strong>Swiderski<\/strong> was upended in the penalty area by <strong>Kostas Galanopoulos <\/strong>and a penalty was awarded<strong>,<\/strong> but <strong>Vieirinha<\/strong> hit the right post of <strong>Tsintota&#8217;s<\/strong> goal.<\/p>\n<p>The visitors then made <strong>PAOK<\/strong> pay dearly for that miss by taking the lead 9 minutes later thanks to a header from the unmarked <strong>Galanopoulos,<\/strong> who rose unopposed at the near post to head home and make <strong>PAOK&#8217;s <\/strong>task a difficult one.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Double-headed Eagle<\/strong> players, however, did not get disheartened. They kept their composure, stuck to their plan with patience and managed to turn the match around.<\/p>\n<p>In the 84th minute <strong>Rahman Baba<\/strong> released <strong>Krmencik<\/strong> with an exquisire diagonal pass into the penalty area and the Czech forward blasted the ball past <strong>Tsintota<\/strong> at the near post into the roof of the net to make it 1-1.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u0391\u0395\u039a<\/strong> tried their best to find a response, but <strong>PAOK<\/strong> were well organised at the back, and did not allow the visitors time and space to work any clear openings, and then manage to find a winning goal themselves in the last minute of the game. <strong>Zivkovic<\/strong> picked up possession after a misplaced pass by <strong>AEK&#8217;s Mario Mitaj,<\/strong> and without hesitating the <strong>Serb<\/strong> sent a sublime lob over <strong>Tsintotas<\/strong> from distance to put the icing on the cake of a great comeback 2-1 win.<\/p>\n<p>With two wins over the two legs and an aggregate score of <strong>3-1,<\/strong> <strong>PAOK<\/strong> progressed to the <b>Greek Cup <\/b>final, where they will meet <strong>Olympiacos <\/strong>on <strong>May 22<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Team lineups:<\/p>\n<p>PAOK: <strong>Paschalakis<\/strong>, <strong>Rodrigo<\/strong>, <strong>Ingason<\/strong>, <strong>Varela<\/strong>, <b>Vieirnha <\/b>(77\u2019 <strong>Michailidis<\/strong>), <strong>Baba<\/strong>, <strong>Augusto<\/strong>, <strong>Schwab<\/strong>, <strong>\u0391.\u0396ivkovic <\/strong>(96\u2019 <strong>Lyratzis<\/strong>), <b>Warda <\/b>(87\u2019 <strong>Tsingaras<\/strong>), <b>Swiderski <\/b>(77\u2019 <strong>Krmencik<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>\u0391\u0395\u039a: Tsintotas, Svarnas, Chygrynskiy, (88\u2019 Kosidis), Nedelcearu, Lopes (62\u2019 Mitaj), Galanopoulos, Krsticic (62\u2019 Tankovic), Szymanski (62\u2019 Albanis), Vasilantonopoulos (88\u2019 Danchenko), Mandalos, Ansarifard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For 84 minutes everything went wrong.
