MICHAILIDIS AND PAOK have bad luck

In the second 45 minutes, everything happened with PAOK raising the pressure, Tsolak and Ouage entering the game to make the “biceps” more aggressive, but Krasnodar lucky and opening the scoring with an own goal from Michailidis in the 73rd minute.

An attack from the left took a parallel turn, the 19-year-old defender tried to chase Berg and with a heel sent the ball into the net of his team.

WORTH YOUR DESTINATION

PAOK, despite the coldness, not only because of the goal they conceded but also because of the way it came about, tried to attack again and draw. He did it five minutes later with El Kantouri putting it 1-1 with a nice header in minute 77 and with fifteen minutes to go, everything indicated that PAOK returned to the game.

There, however, the Thessaloniki team was worthy of its fate. With the center, Krasnodar went on the attack and managed to take the lead again with 2-1. Michailidis kicked helplessly, Vilena took the ball and made the shot, Zivkovic did not kick and Kabela from close up made it 2-1.

In the remaining minutes PAOK tried to close the match, equalize and not say goodbye to the Champions League defeat but failed with Orsato’s whistle to find Krasnodar in the Champions League groups for the first time in their history and PAOK in the groups of the Europa League.
