Razvan Lucescu<\/strong> fielded a much-changed team, and PAOK<\/strong> started the match with plenty of enthusiasm and energy, pressing the hosts from the kick-off, and creating many problems for the opposing defense.<\/p>\n

The first threat came in the seventh minute, with Despodov<\/strong> crossing for Mythou<\/strong> who looked to apply the finishm only for Athanasiadis<\/strong> to make an impressive save to deny the PAOK<\/strong> forward. bThe baton was taken on by Michailides<\/strong>, who fired a shot goalwards in the 10th minute only to be denied again by an Athanasiadis<\/strong> save.<\/p>\n

The Aris<\/strong> goalkeeper made another vital stop when he saved Despodov’s<\/strong> penalty, which had been awarded after Vogliacco<\/strong> was upended in the box.<\/p>\n

Despodov<\/strong> then threatened again in the 35th minute with a header, but the ball went wide, with Aris<\/strong> essentially having only one shot on goal in the first half, with Perez<\/strong> missing in the 36th minute, while a goal by Jensen<\/strong> was also correctly disallowed for offside. The 0-0 scoreline remained unchanged until the end of the half.<\/p>\n

The second half started in the worst possible way for PAOK<\/strong>, as Aris<\/strong> took the lead through Dudou<\/strong> in the 47th minute.<\/p>\n

For the rest of the match, the home team focused on how to close down the spaces towards Athanasiadis’<\/strong> goal and waste time.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Lucescu<\/strong> tried to make some adjustments, bringing on Taison, Giakoumakis, Hatsidis<\/strong>, Ivanusec<\/strong> and Kenny<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The visitors hit the post in the 63rd minute from Despodov’s<\/strong> free-kick, and it took until the final moments of the match for the team that didn’t give up to finally get their «revenge» and level the game.<\/p>\n

Taison<\/strong> provided the crosse, which Giakoumakis<\/strong> converted in emphatic style to make the final score 1-1, with PAOK<\/strong> taking a very important point from the game.<\/p>\n

Team lineups:<\/p>\n

Aris: Athanasiadis, Alvaro, Rose, Fadiga, Frydek (83′ Techero), Montsou, Galanopoulos, Jensen (71′ Rasic), Peres, Panayidis (83′ Charoupas), Dudou (79′ Moron).<\/p>\n

PAOK: Tsiftsis, Baba, Michailides, Vogliacco, Sastre (81′ Kenny), Bianco (63′ Taison), Ozdoev, Kamara, Despodov (75′ Hatsidis), A.
