Although the match started with PAOK B looking the better side on the pitch, it quickly developed into a midfield battle with a lot of bad tempered play and mistakes. In fact, when the hosts took the lead in the 15th minute via Plegas, the hosts then intensified the pressure, reaching Monastirlis penalty area several times. The Double-headed Eagle tried to react, but without achieving anything remarkable up until half-time. Unfortunatrely Gordeziani did not see out the half, he had to be withdrawn due to picking up an injury.

In the second half the pattern of play was different with PAOK B doing the pressing, threatening and finally winning a penalty in the 57th minute thanks to Tasiouras. Kanis stepped up to take the spot-kick but Souloukos parried the effort behind for a corner and an important opportunity was missed for PAOK B to equalize and change the game. Instead, however, the visitors conceded a second goal in the 74th minute from Papageorgiou. Of course, the Double-headed Eagle didn’t … give up the ghost. After a flurry of substitutions, PAOK B came close to scoring a goal when they hit the post through Goumas in stoppage time.

The team’s next game is away at Kozani.
