This was evident from the start of the match, with the <strong>Viotians<\/strong> being excellent on the counter-attack and testing the reflexes of <strong>Kotarski<\/strong> twice, who with two key saves kept the score at 0-0.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PAOK<\/strong> then threatened with two shots from <strong>Baba<\/strong> and <strong>Sastre<\/strong>, but they did not find the target, while in the 24th minute, <strong>Tissoudali<\/strong> was through one-on-one with <strong>Levadiakos<\/strong> &#8216;keeper <strong>Garavelis<\/strong>, after an excellent dribble to beat <strong>Erramuspe,<\/strong> but he was blocked by <strong>Garavelis<\/strong> before he could get a shot away. The first half ended with a nice effort from <strong>PAOK<\/strong>, with <strong>Shoretire<\/strong> finding <strong>Konstantelias<\/strong>, but the young <strong>Greece<\/strong> international midfielder was unable to score.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PAOK<\/strong> entered the second half strongly and in the 51st minute they missed a great opportunity following a cross by <strong>Sastre,<\/strong> with <strong>Tissoudali<\/strong> missing from a good position, while <strong>Ozdoev<\/strong>, after coming off the bench, had a good chance with a header.<\/p>\n<p>In the 60th minute, <strong>Kedziora<\/strong> scored, but after a VAR review, the goal was disallowed for offside. The technical staff then sent both <strong>Chalov<\/strong> and <strong>Taison<\/strong> on, with the <strong>Russian<\/strong> missing a chance with his first touch.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the solution was provided in the 82nd minute. The scene was familiar. A right-wing cross from <strong>Despodov<\/strong>, a header from <strong>Kamara<\/strong> and 1-0 to <strong>PAOK!<\/strong> The home side found the breakthrough they were looking for and it remained to be seen how they reacted in the final minutes, and they did exactly what was needed to manage the game.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PAOK<\/strong> tried to find a second goal immediately, and <strong>Pelkas<\/strong>, who also received his baptism of fire playing for the first time since his return, combined perfectly with <strong>Vieirinha<\/strong>, but <strong>Garavelis<\/strong> made a save from his attempted backheel. In the final moments <strong>Levadiakos<\/strong> tried desperately to find an equalizer, but the <strong>PAOK<\/strong> defense did not give them a chance, with <strong>Kedziora, Wieteska<\/strong> and <strong>Kotarski<\/strong> all prodcing good blocks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PAOK<\/strong> claimed three valuable points and, combined with the draw between <strong>Olympiacos <\/strong>and <strong>Panathinaikos<\/strong> in the derby, reduced the gap from the top to seven points.<\/p>\n<p>Team lineups:<\/p>\n<p><strong>PAOK: Kotarski, Sastre, Kedziora, Wieteska, Baba, Pena (Ozdoev 52\u2019), Kamara, Shoretire (Taison 70\u2019), Konstantelias (Pelkas 85\u2019), Despodov (Vieirinha 85\u2019), Tissoudali (Chalov 70\u2019).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Levadiakos: Garavelis, Vichos, Moreira, Erramuspe, Liagas, Abu Hanna, Kostis, Cokaj (Katris 85\u2019), Kassos (Ozbold 85\u2019), Gianniotas (Lamarana 55\u2019), Zini.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This time, PAOK kept their composure, never relaxed, and in the end they came away victorious.
