A comfortable afternoon for PAOK at the Kleanthis Vikelidis Stadium. The team were dominant throughout all over the pitch, scored two goals, missed several opportunities for many more, and claimed a vital three-point haul in the battle for second place.

The main protagonist of the match for PAOK was Miroslav Stoch. The diminutive winger grabbed his chance with both hands after being given a starting berth by Abel Ferreira. He was full of running, applied pressure on our opponents and was a vital part of the team’s creativity on the day, providing an assist for Varela’s goal as well as helping to fashion a host of other chances.

In the voting for the Fans’ Man of the Match via paokfc.gr and the PAOK FC Official App, the Slovakian collected 60% of the votes to win the award.

Anderson Esiti came in second place, and he was a player who also produced an excellent display in the middle of the park, beavering away and protecting the defence.
