THE PAOK He was superior in Granada, he had a goal, he had some good moments, but he wasted them and two more points, after he stayed at 0-0.
“Dikefalos” missed the opportunity for a great victory in European League in a Spanish team formed and thus the match with Eindhoven in Toumba on 5/11, after the victory of the Dutch in Cyprus is final.
Formations
Abel Ferreira started the PAOK with the familiar 3-4-3, but with changes of faces. Zivkovts was in goal and in the trio in defense instead of Mikhailidis, he added more experience with Crespo along with Varela, Ingasson.
In the midfield he wanted more racing and creation and instead of Esiti, who started with Omonia, the key player was Douglas Augusto. The Brazilian midfielder (for whom it is written in his homeland that Ferreira wants him at Palmeiras) played a change with Omonia, after an absence of 7.5 months. Next to him, of course, was Swab.
The right-back for the first time in the starting eleven after his injury with Besiktas, was Rodrigo and Giannoulis on the left. In the attack, A. Zivkovic, Murg flanked Tsolak.
Granada lined up 4-2-3-1. At the end, Rui Silva, right back, Vallejo, left, Neva and stopper, Alemán, Herrera. In the center of the field were Gonalon, Mila, the right back Mahis, Kennedy and Puerta behind Suárez.
Excellent in defense
The PAOK was read, he correctly pressed his own half, the gaps were closed and from the beginning he did not let Granada play vertically. The Spanish tried to enter forcefully, however, it was quickly cut off by “Dikefalos”. In the 17th minute, in fact, PAOK had the first good moment, when Swab fouled from the left, but Varelas’ header in the small area went wide.
Bundle of hyssop
In any case, PAOK was no longer in danger and after 20 ‘they took control of the match and tried to play a match. In the 27th minute he scored the goal, but Swab was unlucky. In the center of Ingasson, the Austrian midfielder hit a left-footed shot from an outside flank, but the ball ended up at the base of the right crossbar.
PAOK continued without being threatened, Granada played a passive role, but lacked some automation and a good final pass. In the 38th minute, Giannoulis’s pass to Zivkovic was cut off, before executing from a good position, while in the 43rd minute, Ingason, right in the big area, although he had passing options, shot.
Spaniards are strong
Granada came in stronger in the second half, winning consecutive corners and in one of them in the 50th minute, in Miya’s execution, Gonalon headed in and Zivkovic responded impressively.
The final pass was missing
PAOK, however, held up well in defense, did not allow the Spanish team to play vertically, but he himself did not have the final pass on the counterattack. Murg, Zivkovic were on a mediocre day, Swab was tired and made several mistakes and the ball did not reach Tsolak properly to find the space and time to execute.
Missed opportunities
In the 84th minute, after a good pass from El Kantouri, Sfinderski made a weak play on Rui Silva from a good position. PAOK continued the pressure and in the 87th minute Rui Silva blocked Zivkovic’s left shot. PAOK was therefore not threatened, but lost the opportunity for a great victory.
He screamed for a penalty
PAOK in the 90 ‘asked for a penalty in Herman’s push on Swab, but the Portuguese referee Thiago Martins asked him to continue the game and thus the Thessalonians were left with the complaint that they were superior, but for the second game of the group they threw two points.
Granada (Diego Martínez): Rui Silva, Gonalon (90 ‘Bryce), Migia, Herman, Suarez (73’ Montoro), Puerta, Mahis (90 ‘Duarte), Neva, Vallejo, Herrera (60’ Molina), Kennedy (73 ‘Soro).
PAOK (Abel Ferreira): Zivkovic, Ingasson, Varela, Crespo, Rodrigo (75 ‘Ouage), Giannoulis, Swab, Augusto, Murg (69’ El Kantouri), A. Zivkovic, Tsolak (69 ‘Sfinderski).
