PAOK<\/strong> were in excellent form against Real Betis.<\/strong> The home side set the tempo of the game, were in control throughout the match, played some great football, and scored two goals in the second half to claim a superb victory, which ensured their presence in the knockout stages of this year’s competition.<\/p>\n

One of the major protagonists of the match was Andrija \u017divkovi\u0107<\/strong>. The captain once again delivered a skipper’s performance putting in countless running and was consistent in all areas of the pitch, showing heart and passion as usual, also scoring another goal, this time a header.<\/p>\n

And in the poll for the Kitchenbar Fans’ Man of the Match, <\/strong>it was A. \u017divkovi\u0107<\/strong> who collected 32.97%<\/strong> of the votes and won the award.<\/p>\n

In second place was the excellent Jonjoe Kenny<\/strong>, who was impeccable on the right side, in both defense and attack, while the podium was completed by Giorgos Giakoumakis<\/strong>, who was also the team’s figurehead up front, scoring one goal from the penalty spot and contributing a volleyed assist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Andrija Zivkovic came out on top in the Kitchenbar Fans’ Man of the Match vote for the match against Real Betis at the Toumba Stadium in the League Phase of the 2025-26 UEFA Europa League.","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":895765,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1520,5,2550],"tags":[6435,2250,2551,3046,5338,13749,18566],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nZivkovic wins Fans' Man of the Match award -
