In a match which was characterized by tough duels all over the pitch, with the playing surface not helping the players to produce an attractive spectacle, PAOK showed toughness and decisiveness in coming away from Lamia with all three points.

One of the top performers on the night was without doubt Anderson Esiti. The Nigerian was a joy to watch. He won every single battle that he was involved in, did not put a foot wrong in the middle of the park and provided the necessary energy and drive required to grind out a previous victory.

And in the voting for the Fans’ Man of the Match via paokfc.gr and the PAOK FC Official App, Esiti collected 42,06% of the votes to win the award.

In second place was Leo Matos, who scored the goal which proved the difference between the two teams. In third place was Ingi Ingason, who produced another impressive defensive display.
