In the 34th minute, it was the visitors who sprang a surprise by going in front, taking advantage of a sluggish PAOK, who finally started to respond to the challenge from the 50th minute mark.

In the 62nd minute, Tsobanis scored a free-kick to level matters, and then on 77 minutes the same player put the Double-headed Eagle 2-1 in front after Zoubi’s corner. It was soon 3-1 in the 82nd minute thanks to Babouras, who converted another Zoubi assist, and the hosts then went 4-1 up in the 88th minute via Gitersos, this time the assist came from Babouras. The fifth goal for 5-1 came in added time with Zoubi getting the goal his performance also deserved.
