In the last game of the season, Amir Azmy Megahed's Geek side PAOK lost to Egaleo with four goals to two. Amir played from the start and came off in the 62nd minute of the game.



The game took place behind closed doors at Toumba Stadium (home ground of PAOK). The home team were the first to score as Mieciel gave them the lead after 20 minutes from the kick off. However, Egaleo managed to pull level through Nikolopoulos in the 37th minute. In the 44th minute, things got even worse for PAOK as Barkoglou added the 2nd goal for the guests.

Four minutes after the kick off of the 2nd half, Egaleo extended their lead by scoring another goal for the man of the match Nikolopoulos. The same player added another goal for the guests in the 83rd minute to make the result 1-4.


In the 87th minute, PAOK scored a consolation goal through Salpigidis to end thegame in a disappointing 2-4 home defeat.

It should be noted that Amir played from the start but he was taken off in the 62nd minute. The Egyptian showed another solid performance but he still suffers from the lack in physical fitness and so, he couldn't play any full game so far.

It is also worth mentioning that despit ethe defeat, PAOK managed to qualify for the UEFA Cup next year after finishing 5th in the table.

Interestingly, PAOK was the team that eliminated Abdel Zaher El Saka and Ayman Abdel Aziz' Genclerbirligi from the UEFA cup last year.
