Another «final», another victory. PAOK traveled to Croatia to face Rijeka with the sole aim of victory in order to secure a place in the UEFA Europa Conference League group stage and they did so emphatically, as the final 2-0 winning scoreline did not fully reflect the way the match went.

The Double-headed Eagle played with concentration, and the players showed their quality on the pitch and did not give the opposition a look in.

Omar El Kaddouri epitomized the performance with an influential performance. El Maestro began the game impressively, hitting the woodwork before scoring with a smart sliding finish in the 10th minute after an excellent assist by Schwab. El Kaddouri then hit the woodwork again in the 41st minute, befiore unfotnately limping out of the game with an injury problem.

In the Fans’ Man of the Match poll, El Kaddouri garnered 51.78% of the popular vote and won the individual title, leaving Stefan Schwab in second.

Mr Effective excelled in midfield yet again, assisting the goal and generally dominating the midfield to help his team on all fronts.
