PAOK Under-15 side kick-off season with 1-0 win [pictures]
PAOK’s Under-15 team passed their first “test” of the season, defeating Atromitos 1-0 in Souroti. They next face a trip to Crete, where they will face OFI on Saturday, October 9.
Orfanos’ and Bikas’ team produced a very good first half, demonstrating their obvious superiority through the lion’s share of possession as well as the creation of several chances. And thankfully for the home side, one of those opportunities, in the 32nd minute, saw PAOK find the back of the net. Tsitsilas produced a clinical finish past the opposition goalkeeper following a slick through-ball from Tsifoutis.
The second half was a more balanced affair, with Atromitos pushing for an equalizer, however PAOK managed to keep the Athens club at bay, while also nearly adding to their advantage late on.
PAOK lineup:
Beleris, Kosidis, Vyrsokinos, Sellas (57′ Bagios), Dunga, Eleftheriadis (57′ Mythou), Papanikopoulos, Tsifoutis (70′ Tachmetzidis), Karakostas (40′ Panos), Tsitsilas, Romanidis (65′ Karagiozis).
