PAOK collected 72 points as opposed to second-placed PAS Giannina’s 54 to seal in style their participation in the play-offs. The time and place of the deciding matches have yet to be announced, but PAOK know they will come up against Asteras Tripolis in the semi-finals. PAS Giannina and Olympiacos complete the line-up.

The encounter against Panetolikos U17s was held in the senior team’s ground. In an open match of no speculation, PAOK won the three-pointer thanks to a brace by Koutousis. He broke the deadlock in the 44th minute with a direct free-kick, the rival goalkeeper misjudging the ball’s trajectory. Two minutes into the second half, he tapped the ball in after Panetolikos’ defence failed to clear an effort by Konstantinou.

PAOK’s Makousis was denied by woodwork in the 76th minute. Ten minutes later, the same player was sent off with a second bookable offence and he will miss the semi-final through suspension. Panetolikos managed to reduced distances in the 88th making it 2-1.

PAOK U17: Muca, Charalampidis, Makousis, Dimitriou, Panagiotidis, Kyrillidis, Koutousis (75’ Noukaris), Kligopoulos (46’ Miskovic), Konstantinou (70’ Aidonidis), Argyriou (60’ Yfantidis), Mattheou (46’ Kapretsos).
