A mistake in the first half and a lack of composure in the final third, however, deprived them of the three points.<\/p>\n<p>Against a highly motivated home team, <strong>PAOK<\/strong> did exceptionally well, dominating most of the match but the finer details saw them robbed of victory.<\/p>\n<p>The hosts tried to spring a surprise and they succeeded in the ninth minute with <strong>Sporar<\/strong> providing an assist for Mancini who beat <strong>Kotarski<\/strong> with a clinical shot to make it 1-0 to the home side following a poor defensive clearance by the latter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PAOK<\/strong> responded through <strong>Oliveira<\/strong>, but his header missed the target in the 14th minute. <strong>PAOK<\/strong> began to make inroads into the home side&#8217;s half and pushed for an equaliser, but in the 28th minute they were forced to change their plans as <strong>Oliveira<\/strong> withdrew due to injury.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brandon Thomas<\/strong> came on to replace the <strong>Portuguese<\/strong> and in the 39th minute he missed a great scoring opportunity as <strong>Brignoli<\/strong> made a save following <strong>Rafa Soares&#8217;<\/strong> cross.<\/p>\n<p>In the 45th minute, <strong>Kotarski<\/strong> saved from <strong>Bernard <\/strong>and the 1-0 scoreline remained that way at the half-time break. In the second half, <strong>PAOK<\/strong> came out in determined mood and were clearly stronger than their opponents, pressing hard. Their efforts vrought an equalizing goal in the 60th minute.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Felipe Soares<\/strong> played in <strong>Brandon Thomas<\/strong>, he surged into the penalty area and produced a smart finish off the post to make it 1-1.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Panathinaikos<\/strong> tried to respond immediately but <strong>Kotarski<\/strong> made two great saves to deny <strong>Bernard.<\/strong> In the 62nd minute he first saved from the <strong>Brazilian<\/strong> who found himself one-on-one, while three minutes later the home midfielder&#8217;s deflected free-kick was saved brilliantly by <strong>Kotarski.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From then on, the game only had one team in it, or so it seemed. And that team was <strong>PAOK<\/strong>. The high-pressing visitors penned <strong>Panathinaikos<\/strong> back in their own half, won possession time and again, but failed to find their final passes, with the <strong>Greens<\/strong> then also hitting the post in the 80th minute through <strong>Mancini<\/strong> against the run of play.<\/p>\n<p>Home center-back <strong>Schenkefeld<\/strong> was shown a straight red in the 84th minute for a foul on <strong>Brandon<\/strong>, but even with the numerical advantage <strong>Lucescu&#8217;s<\/strong> team couldn&#8217;t find a solution to get the three points.<\/p>\n<p>Team lineups:<\/p>\n<p>Panathinaikos: Brignioli, Kotsiras, Schenkefeld, Sarlia, Juankar, Mancini (86&#8242; Palacios), Cerin, Tsokai (87&#8242; Magnusson), Bernard (74&#8242; Kleinheisler), Ioannidis, Sporar (62&#8242; Perez).<\/p>\n<p><strong>PAOK: Kotarski, Lyratzis (81&#8242; Vieirinha), Kedziora, Nasberg, Rafa Soares, Dantas (71&#8242; Schwab), Filipe Soares, A.
