A similar approach from the previous tie with the <strong>Danes<\/strong>. And the result? A game of quality football at the <strong>Toumba<\/strong> <strong>Stadium<\/strong>, with plenty of tactical battkes, intensity, passion and <strong>PAOK<\/strong> coming up with a big win.<\/p>\n<p>The visitors tried to surprise the home side in the first few minutes by pushing high up the pitch, attempting to pinch possession at every opportunity and threaten. HOwever, they ploy failed. <strong>PAOK<\/strong>, for their part, were determined and patient, managing to bring the match into the balance and then they began to threaten the visitors&#8217; goal.<\/p>\n<p>The first half ended without many opportunities for either side, with <strong>Chuba Akpom&#8217;s<\/strong> 26th-minute shot that was saved well by opposing goalkeeper <strong>Roef<\/strong> the main highlight.<\/p>\n<p>In the second half, <strong>PAOK<\/strong> came out stronger and looked to take the lead. The hosts had two good chances with a shot by <strong>Lefteris Lyratzis<\/strong> and a header by <strong>Akpom, <\/strong>before <strong>Kurtic <\/strong>finally broke the deadlock in the 58th minute. The opposing coach had marked <strong>Kurtic<\/strong> out for special attention from the beginning and manahed &#8211; by and large &#8211; to take him out of the game. But when there was a set-piece chance just outside the penalty area, the visitors could not do anything about it. The <strong>Slovenian<\/strong> executed a trademark effort on goal, and the ball found the back of the net via a deflection off a <strong>Gent<\/strong> defender.<\/p>\n<p>From that point on, <strong>PAOK<\/strong> remained in control of the going, showing solidity in defense and not allowing the visitors the chance to threaten the home goal. The result was that <strong>PAOK<\/strong> closed out the match, holding firmly to their 1-0 advantage until the final whistle.<\/p>\n<p>And so <strong>PAOK<\/strong> got what they wanted from the first leg, an advantage to protect in view of the second leg in seven days. Things may be tougher for <strong>PAOK<\/strong> in that match, since <strong>Kurtic<\/strong> and <strong>A. Zivkovic<\/strong> will miss the game through suspension after both players were booked in this match and reached their yellow card limits.<\/p>\n<p>Team lineups:<\/p>\n<p><strong>PAOK (Razvan Lutsescu): Paschalakis, Lyratzis, Ingason, Crespo, Vieirinha (80&#8242; Sidcley), Tsingaras, Kurtic (80&#8242; Schwab), A.
