Zivkovic<\/strong> and <strong>Hatsidis<\/strong> on the wings and <strong>Giakoumakis<\/strong> spearheading the attack.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PAOK<\/strong> started the game strongly and took control of the match from the first few minutes, making it very difficult for <strong>AEK<\/strong> to develop their play from the defensive zones with some high intensity pressing. In the seventh minute, <strong>Mukudi<\/strong> managed to block a run from <strong>Zafeiris<\/strong>, while in the eighth minute, <strong>Marin<\/strong> attempted a shot from distance for <strong>AEK<\/strong> without finding the target.<\/p>\n<p>In the 10th minute, <strong>PAOK<\/strong> had a great chance to take the lead, with <strong>Zafeiris<\/strong> being fouled by <strong>Mukudi<\/strong> inside the penalty area, <strong>Osmers<\/strong> pointing to the penalty spot, but <strong>Strakosha<\/strong> saving <strong>Giakoumakis<\/strong>&#8216; effort from 12 yards down low to his left.<\/p>\n<p>After the penalty miss, <strong>AEK<\/strong> tried to gain ground on the pitch and become threatening, but <strong>PAOK&#8217;s<\/strong> defense worked flawlessly, with the only chance for the visitors in the first half coming from a shot by <strong>Koita<\/strong> in the 40th minute that bounced off <strong>Pavlenka&#8217;s<\/strong> crossbar and over to safety. On the other hand, <strong>PAOK<\/strong> failed to convert their good movement of the ball into scoring opportunities, and the 0-0 scoreline did not change until the half-time break.<\/p>\n<p>The second half started with a missed effort for each team by <strong>A. Zivkovic<\/strong> and <strong>Jovic<\/strong>, while in the 52nd minute <strong>Meite<\/strong> felt some discomfort in his groin and was forced to leave the pitch, with <strong>Lucescu<\/strong> bringing on <strong>Ozdoev<\/strong> and <strong>Kamara<\/strong> in place of the <strong>Frenchman<\/strong> and <strong>Hatsidis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The pattern of play was comewhat broken up for a spell by tough tackling and one-on-one duels all over the pitch as the trension mounted, with <strong>PAOK<\/strong> though threatening in the 68th minute, when <strong>Baba<\/strong> squared the ball for <strong>Ozdoev<\/strong>, but the <strong>Russian<\/strong> midfielder&#8217;s shot went high over the crossbar from a good position.<\/p>\n<p>The visitors attempted to slow the game down while seeking to strike on the counter-attack. And from one such effort in the 78th minute <strong>Jovic<\/strong> curled a shot narrowly wide from a good position on the edge of the penalty area.<\/p>\n<p>In the 87th minute, <strong>PAOK<\/strong> had a great chance to score when <strong>Baba<\/strong> sent over a dinked cross for the arriving <strong>Kamara,<\/strong> but the midfielder headed narrowly wide when he looked certain to score. <strong>AEK<\/strong> responded to in the fourth minute of added time, with <strong>Jovic<\/strong> heading the ball over the diving <strong>Pavlenka,<\/strong> only to see his effort come back off the post and the score remained 0-0 until the final whistle.<\/p>\n<p>The three-point gap from the top remained intact, with <strong>PAOK<\/strong> having a game in hand.<\/p>\n<p>Team lineups:<\/p>\n<p><strong>PAOK: Pavlenka, Kenny, Kedziora, Michailidis, Baba, Meite (52&#8242; Ozdoev), Zafeiris (86&#8242; Bianco), Hatsidis (52&#8242; Kamara), A.
