PAOK<\/strong> made history against Midtjylland,<\/strong> overturning the 1-0 loss from the first leg by prevailing 2-1 at the Toumba<\/strong> to take the game to extra time and then eventually going through to the last 16 of the UEFA Europa Conference League<\/strong> via a penalty shootout.<\/p>\n

One of the highlights of the Toumba <\/strong>match was Andre Vieirinha’s <\/strong>incredble goal. The Leader<\/strong> may not have scored as often in recent years, since he is playing usually at full-back, but when he does, he makes sure that it’s impressive.<\/p>\n

Against the Danes<\/strong>, the defenders tried to clear their lines, but the ball fell to the Portuguese<\/strong> on the edge of the penalty area. He showed great technique to bring a bouncing ball under control instantly, before stepping forward and lashing an unstoppable effort past the opposing goalkeeper with an incredible finish.<\/p>\n

And in the battle for the Regency Casino Best Goal<\/strong> for February<\/strong> the competition was fierce. Kurtic’s<\/strong> epic strike at the OAKA<\/strong> against AEK,<\/strong> and Sastre’s<\/strong> rocket against Panathinaikos<\/strong> at the Toumba<\/strong> were also in the running.<\/p>\n

But, the public vote via paokfc.gr<\/strong> and the PAOK FC Official App<\/strong> finally saw The Leader<\/strong> claim the prize. Kurtic<\/strong> was second, while Sastre<\/strong> completed the podium.<\/p>\n
