In the midfield in front of them were <strong>Kamara<\/strong> and <strong>Ozdoev<\/strong>, while the trio behind lone striker <strong>Chalov<\/strong> included <strong>Pelkas, Konstantelias<\/strong> and <strong>A. Zivkovic.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>PAOK<\/strong> made a strong start and were two goals ahead after just 11 minutes. The first strike came in the fifth minute, when a long ball upfield from<strong> Kotarski<\/strong> was colleted by <strong>Chalov<\/strong> who produced a wonderful assist to <strong>Konstantelias,<\/strong> with the <strong>Greek<\/strong> forward beating <strong>Tzolakis<\/strong> to make it 1-0.<\/p>\n<p>Six minutes later it was <strong>Kamara&#8217;s<\/strong> turn to find the net. <strong>A. Zivkovic<\/strong> took a corner and the <strong>Double-headed Eagle<\/strong> midfielder rose to head home in stylish fashion to make it 2-0 and and send the home fans into frenzied celebrations in the stands of the <strong>Toumba.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A few minutes later, <strong>Kamara<\/strong> missed a great opportunity to make it 3-0 after a headed pass from <strong>Michailidis<\/strong>, but he sent the ball narowly over <strong>Tzolakis&#8217; <\/strong>crossbar.<\/p>\n<p>The pace of the match dropped noticeably after that, and until the end of the first half, there were no major opportunities, apart from a speculative shot from <strong>Olympiacos<\/strong> midfielder <strong>Hezze<\/strong> that was blocked by <strong>Michailides<\/strong>, while for <strong>PAOK&#8217;s<\/strong> part, in the 36th minute <strong>Konstantelias<\/strong> skipped past <strong>Biancone<\/strong>, but <strong>Carmo<\/strong> managed to catch up with the young forward and prevent him getting a shot away.<\/p>\n<p>The second half started in the opposite way compared to the first for <strong>PAOK<\/strong>. <strong>Pelkas<\/strong> missed a great chance to score in the 51st minute after a pass from <strong>Baba<\/strong>, as he slipped before executing his shot, but moments later <strong>Olympiacos<\/strong> then found a goal to get back in the game. <strong>Yaremchuk<\/strong> got in behind the home defence, crossed into the box and <strong>Michaelidis<\/strong> was unlucky as the ball ricocheted off him and ended up in the back of <strong>Kotarski&#8217;s<\/strong> net for 2-1.<\/p>\n<p>Despite that goal, the tempo of the match remained moderate, with both teams threatening from <strong>Chiquinho<\/strong> for <strong>Olympiacos<\/strong> and <strong>Ozdoev<\/strong> for the hosts, but neither player could find the target. The two coaches made several substitutions and the next important phase of the match came in the 75th minute. The match referee <strong>Stegeman<\/strong> indicated a foul by <strong>Kamara<\/strong> on <strong>Yaremchuk<\/strong> and sent off the <strong>PAOK<\/strong> man, leaving <strong>Lucescu&#8217;s<\/strong> team with 10 players for the final quarter of the match.<\/p>\n<p>However, <strong>PAOK<\/strong> dug in and held on, not allowing <strong>Olympiacos<\/strong> many chances to threaten and the <strong>German<\/strong> referee&#8217;s final whistle was greeted with triumphant celebrations among the home fans who celebrated a satisfying derby win.<\/p>\n<p>Team lineups:<\/p>\n<p><strong>PAOK (Razvan Lucescu): Kotarski, Baba, Sastre, Michailides, Wieteska, Kamara, Ozdoev (83&#8242; Schwab), Konstantelias (78&#8242; Meite), Pelkas (65&#8242; Taison), A.
