Then in the 22nd minute, <strong>Kotarski<\/strong> brought down <strong>Pineda<\/strong> inside the area as the <strong>AEK<\/strong> man sought to go round the visiting &#8216;keeper, and <strong>Mandalos<\/strong> scored from the penalty spot to open the scoring.<\/p>\n<p>The second half started nightmarishly for <strong>PAOK<\/strong>. <strong>Lamela<\/strong>, with the help of <strong>Jonsson<\/strong>, stole possession from <strong>Baba<\/strong> just as the <strong>PAOK<\/strong> man looked to have stopped a dangerous attack, and with a placed effort into the far corner <strong>Lamela <\/strong>was able to make it 2-0 just two minutes into the second period.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PAOK<\/strong>, however, did not give up. With <strong>Michailides<\/strong> taking on the role of playmaker with long but accurate passes from the backline, the visitors managed to level the game within 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>In the 58th minute, the <strong>Greek<\/strong> stopper provided the assist to <strong>Konstantelias<\/strong>, who showed sublime control to bring the ball down before skipping past a sprawling <strong>Brignoli<\/strong> and slot the ball home into the unguarded net with his third touch to make it 2-1.<\/p>\n<p>In the 64th minute, <strong>Chalov<\/strong> missed a great opportunity to equalize, only for <strong>Andrija Zivkovic<\/strong> to provide the solution from another long pass from the defensive area and equalize in the 67th minute. And it was <strong>Michailides <\/strong>who was the provider of another excellent ball in behind the home defence for the <strong>Serb<\/strong>, who showed a good turn of pace and a smart low finish to outwit <strong>Brignoli<\/strong> and make it 2-2.<\/p>\n<p>The momentum had now clearly turned to <strong>Razvan Lucescu&#8217;s<\/strong> side and this translated into a winning goal in the 88th minute. And it was another impressive strike. <strong>Chalov<\/strong> produced an outrageous piece of skill to control the ball on the turn with a cheeky backheel flick before surging forward and releasing <strong>Pelkas<\/strong>, who produced a flawless finish to make it 3-2 to the visitors.<\/p>\n<p>Team lineups:<\/p>\n<p>AEK: Brignoli, Gacinovic (81&#8242; Pelios), Mukudi, Vida, Rota (69&#8242; Odubajo), Jonsson (69&#8242; Szymanski), Ljubisic (78&#8242; Eliasson), Mandalos, Lamela, Pineda (78&#8242; Koita), Piero.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PAOK: Kotarski, Kedziora (73&#8242; Sastre), Baba, Michailides, Wieteska, Schwab (59&#8242; Despodov), Ozdoev, Kamara, Konstantelias (84&#8242; Pelkas), A.
