Derby Draw for PAOK; Excellent display from Amir

Wrote: EP's reporter in Greece Christos E. Dimitriades

The derby between PAOK and Panathinaikos, which everyone in Greece had been anticipating in the last few days ended with a totally fair draw. Amir Azmy played while Shikabala watched his side from the stands for the first time.



The Egyptian duo in Greece...

It was an excellent display from both teams, with Greek international Papadopoulos opening the scoring for the green side in 23rd minute.

But just two minutes later PAOK's captain Salpingides let the celebrations start in a wonderfully washed with colour Toumba Stadium, as he managed the equaliser.

Over 20,000 people had attended the game, and they saw a fair 1-1 draw between the sides.

Amir Azmy had an excellent game till the 78th minute, when he was replaced by Paris Andralas.


Megahed often made his way through the Panathinaikos defence, causing numerous problems in the Athenian team's plans.

Apart from that, Egyptian football had another representative in Thessaloniki, and that was Shikabala, who had the chance to view his new team in action for the first time. On Monday he will give an interview to a sports radio station in the city.
