PAOK B was trying to press high, however, it was not easy to get into shooting positions against a determined home defence, except from a shot by Spyrakos in the 36th minute. The hosts did not manage to register an effort on target.
There second half was a different kettle of fish. PAOK B were more lively and threatening in a match that had plenty of dynamism and some continued tension. And after almost scoring via both Goumas and Spyrakos, the visitors finally found a breakthrough in the 72nd minute with Darela the player on target. He took advantage of Scznaucner’s pass to apply the finish.
