He made his official PAOK debut and led the team’s attack. He created many problems to SKODA Xanthi’s defence, either through individual moves either setting up his teammates.

The Brazilian gave fans a first taste of his capabilities, proving that he has the quality to help PAOK during the season.

In the poll held by paokfc.gr for Fans’ Man of the Match in the league’s opening encounter against SKODA Xanthi, Jairo claimed an impressive tally of 61%, claiming the award ahead of Alexandros Tziolis and Dimitris Konstantinidis who were also excellent on Sunday.

After a two-year spell at Slovakian side AS Trenčín, Jairo moved to Thessaloniki and PAOK looking to up his game.
