Pantheolikos – PAOK Thessaloniki 1-3 – A spectacular comeback for Rezvan Lucescu’s team

A draw with AEK Athens and a particularly humiliating loss to rivals Olympiakos saw PAOK lose top spot in the Greek league table.

In addition, Rezvan Lucescu’s men were also eliminated from the semi-finals of the Panathinaikos Cup, but it looks like the black streak is over.

Away from Pantheolikos, Romanian Sebastian Mladen’s team opened the scoring in the first half thanks to Chatsiteodoridis.

In the second half, PAOK staged a comeback in one minute after Silva Torrejon’s own goal (72nd minute) and Živković’s success (73rd minute).

The last minute of the game also brought a goal from Constantelias and peace for Rezvan Lucescu, who are second in the rankings, one point behind leaders AEK.
