Greek giants Olympiakos suffered
their first defeat this season thanks to Shikabala who
came on while PAOK were 0-1 behind to provide two great
assists and end the game in a shocking 2-1 win.
Main of match Shikabala
Shikabala started the game on bench and
came on in the 61st minute to turn the tables by providing
two brilliant assists to Konstantinidis who scored twice
to end the game in a remarkable 2-1 win for PAOK over
the strongest team in Greek football.
The first half ended goal-less and all
match goals came in the second half. Toure opened the
scoring for Olympiakos in the 59th minute. The goal
came through a freekick from 25 meters and the Olympiakos
players managed to score from that range to give the
guests the lead.
Two minutes later, PAOK's coach decided
to bring Shikabala on to activate his attack. The Egyptian
didn't let his coach down as he provided a great assist
to Konstantinidis who equalized in the 63rd minute.
Shikabala got the ball just outside the area and sent
a brilliant quick through pass to Konstantinidis who
buried the ball home from inside the area to make the
score 1-1.

Five minutes later, particularly in the 68th minute, Shikabala
shined again and provided another assist to Konstantinidis
who scored the winning goal. Shikabala used his individual
skills to evade his marker and had the chance to shoot. However,
he preferred to pass to Konstantinidis who put the ball into
the back of the net from close range to make the score 2-1
for PAOK.
Olympiakos tried to get back into the game in
the remaining minutes but PAOK defenders were up to the job
and the game ended in a great win for PAOK and the first defeat
for Olympiakos this season.
The other Egyptian at PAOK Amir Azmy didn't
participate in the match because of injury. The Egyptian was
also in the centre of attention as he had a fight with the
team captain and fan favorite, Zagorakis and also after he
told the press that he got an offer from a bigger Greek team
and he is keen on the move. So, the fans are currently not
too happy with Amir and hope that he can change his attitude
as they see him a very useful member of the squad.
