It was an off day for our team, but the young full-back stood out for his passion and incessant running. Impeccable in defence and resilient in attack, he was the most dangerous PAOK player and came close to scoring but was denied by the woodwork right after the interval.

In paokfc.gr’s poll for Fans’ Man of the Match, Stelios Kitsiou got 45,69% of the vote, prevailing over Charles Itandje who got 23,35%. The Cameroonian goalkeeper kept PAOK alive with several timely interventions throughout the encounter.

This is the first individual trophy for the young defender who is in form and that becomes evident on the pitch.
