Feisty comeback in Tripolis for PAOK U19s
PAOK youngsters took the lead, saw Asteras score twice, but found it in them to stage their own comeback in the late stages of the encounter, win 3-2 and land yet another three-pointer in the Super League Souroti.
PAOK took the initiative right from the start and prevailed on the pitch. After wasting a few good opportunities, Tsaousis netted the opener with a long-range strike in the 30th minute. The home side reacted right away though and gained the lead with two goals in the first half.
After the interval, the “Double-Headed Eagle” went after the equalizer with patience and perseverance and wasted many chances to score. However they remained calm, cool-headed and mounted a formidable comeback in the last 10 minutes.
Pournaras leveled in the 80th minute for García’s troops and two minutes later Salamouras netted the winner for PAOK.
Top-placed PAOK now have a 10-point distance from second-placed AEK Athens with an impressive tally of 43 points out of the first 15 matches of the season.
PAOK U19: Papadopoulos, Lyratzis, Τsaousis, Μichailidis, Diamantis, Τsiggaras, Salamouras, Chatzistravos, Pournaras (85’ Giaxis), Panidis (65’ Tachatos), Gargalatzidis (46’ Doumtsis)
