Both teams struggled to break down the respective defensive lines, and chances were few and far between for most of the first half. Murg<\/strong> threatened in the sixth minute, but his shot went wide of Paschalakis<\/strong>‘ post, while shortly afterwards Navarro<\/strong> had an effort blocked by Kotarski.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the 29th minute Navarro<\/strong> was the man who opened the scoring in the match. Olympiacos<\/strong> quickly executed a set piece, Chiquinho<\/strong> shot and Kotarski<\/strong> saved, but the Spanish<\/strong> forward was there on the rebound quickest to beat the home keeper and make it 1-0 to the visitors.<\/p>\n

PAOK’s<\/strong> response was immediate. The home side picked up the pace, increased the pressure, and in the 39th minute equalized. Konstantelias<\/strong> won possession deep in his own half, before sending an excellent long pass straight into the path of Murg<\/strong>, who tried to control it under pressure from Ortega. <\/strong>The ball fell kindly for Despondov<\/strong> who slammed the ball home with a firm, right-footed effort to make it 1-1.<\/p>\n

In the 45th minute, the Double-headed Eagle<\/strong> missed a great opportunity to go ahead with Murg<\/strong> placing a shot wide from a good position inside the penalty area, and the teams went into the dressing rooms at 1-1 at half-time.<\/p>\n

The second half started in the worst possible way for PAOK<\/strong>. Podence<\/strong> made it 2-1 in the 54th minute with a long range strike. Then, the hosts took the initiative and started to threaten for the equaliser.<\/p>\n

In the 60th minute, Despondov<\/strong> missed a great chance when clean through against Paschalakis<\/strong>, but his effort did not find the target. In the 70th minute it was Brandon’s<\/strong> turn to threaten, but the ball was blocked and went for a corner. A minute later Ozdoev<\/strong> headed towards goal only to see his effort saved by Paschalakis.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And as PAOK<\/strong> missed chance after chance, Olympiacos<\/strong> managed to find a third goal when Podence<\/strong> crossed for El Kaabi<\/strong> in the penalty area and he made it 3-1.<\/p>\n

The hosts didn’t give up as they tried to fight back, but another opportunity was missed with Despondov<\/strong> the guilty party in the 84th minute. The Bulgarian\u00a0<\/strong> was again one-on-one with former PAOK<\/strong> goalkeeper Paschalakis, <\/strong>but he could convert the chance. Afterwards Olympiacos<\/strong> found a fourth goal on the counter-attack with El Kaabi<\/strong> scoring on the rebound after Kotarski<\/strong> had saved Pondence’s<\/strong> shot.<\/p>\n

The only positive that the team can take tonight’s game is the reaction from the supporters in the Toumba<\/strong>, who despite the heavy defeat, applauded Razvan Lucescu’s<\/strong> players and gave the players the encouragement that they will need to secure qualification in the Betsson Greek Cup<\/strong> on Wednesday<\/strong> (21.02) at «Leoforos»<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
