The Double-headed Eagle had a tough evening at Ricoupoli against a determined Apollon Smyrnis, but with two goal in the closing stages of the match managed to secure a valuable three-point haul.

The main protagonist of the game was Stefan Schwab . The Austrian has began the season at his new club in impressive fashion and his stats are also starting to look strong. In the match in Athens he served up a delicious assist for Karol Swiderski to make it 1-0, and then it was the Austrian who slotted home from the penalty spot on 76 minutes to make it 2-1 to PAOK. The Double-headed Eagle’s midfielder chalked up a goal and an assist for the second match running, following his similarly impressive display against PSV Eindhoven at the Toumba.

And in the poll for the Fans’ Man of the Match, it was Schwab who received 45,85% of the votes to claim the individual award.

In second place was Swiderski, who scored another goal and is producing a solid level of consistency, while Andrija Zivkovic, always a player who causes headaches for opposition defenders, was third.
