In fact the home side could only muster one real attempt on goal during the whole game, and <strong>PAOK<\/strong> claimed three points with two excellent goals. The result means <strong>PAOK&#8217;s<\/strong> fate remains in their own hands in the battle for third place, as with a victory on <strong>Sunday<\/strong> (14.05) over <strong>Olympiacos<\/strong> at <strong>Toumba Stadium<\/strong> they will secure third spot and book a ticket in next season&#8217;s <strong>UEFA Europa League<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Double-headed Eagle <\/strong>may have made many changes to their lineup, with some key players absent, but the visitors showed their determined and competitive spirit from the kick-off, and began to threaten home &#8216;keeper <strong>Avgerinos&#8217; <\/strong>goal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vieirinha, Biseswar <\/strong>and <strong>Konstantelias<\/strong> missed some good chances, before <strong>Andrija \u017divkovi\u0107 <\/strong>stepped up to provide the solution. <strong>Konstantelias<\/strong> pressed high and stole possession for his team, passed to <strong>Dantas,<\/strong> and the <strong>Portuguese<\/strong> released the <strong>Serb<\/strong> who scored with a brilliantly placed effort to make it 1-0 in the 29th minute.<\/p>\n<p>Seven minutes later <strong>Brandon<\/strong> headed just over the bar, while <strong>Nasberg, Konstantelias<\/strong> and <strong>Vieirinha<\/strong> then all missed good chances. The game was simplified further for <strong>Lucescu&#8217;s<\/strong> men in the 45th minute. <strong>Pires<\/strong> put in a wreckless tackle on <strong>A. \u017divkovi\u0107,<\/strong> and match referee <strong>Vergetis<\/strong> dismissed the home player after consulting the phase via <strong>VAR<\/strong>, meaning the <strong>Double-headed Eagle<\/strong> played the rest of the game with a numerical advantage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PAOK<\/strong> entered the second half with the goal of locking up the result and managed to do so within 12 minutes. In the 57th minute, <strong>Schwab<\/strong> produced a brilliant piece of play and crossed for <strong>Brandon<\/strong>, who headed the ball home to make it 2-0.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lucescu<\/strong> then sought to manage the rest of the game, and his players did their jobs well, also creating several more scoring chances, the highlight being a <strong>Filipe Soares <\/strong>effort which hit the woodwork. There were no furthe goals, but <strong>PAOK<\/strong> celebrated an important victory on the road ahead of the final league game of the season and the <strong>Greek Cup<\/strong> final to come.<\/p>\n<p>Team lineups:<\/p>\n<p>NFC Volos: Aygerinos, Tahatos, Aslanidis, Pirinen, Si, Metaxas, Katse (Luna 87&#8242;), Economopoulos (Triandafillou 63&#8242;), Kartalis (Alcho 75&#8242;), Methkida (Tsokanis 75&#8242;), Pires.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PAOK: Kotarski, Lyratzis, Kedziora, Nahberg, Vieirinha, Schwab (Filipe Soares 70&#8242;), Dantas, A.Zivkovic (El Kaddouri 70&#8242;), Konstantelias, Biseswar (Tzimas 79&#8242;), Brandon (Ricardo 81&#8242;).<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PAOK did what was required of them at the Panthessaliko Stdium against NFC Volos, defeating the local side 2-0 on Matchday 9 of the 2022-23 Stoiximan Super League Play Offs, and they are now preparing to play two finals that will decide their season.","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":738243,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1520,5],"tags":[2386,2608,4823,9625,13020],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.5.1 -
