Amir and Shikabala's PAOK lost their away
game against Rapid Bucharest and got eliminated from
Europe's 2nd competition. Amir and Shikabala didn't
start but they both came on in the second half and showed
a good performance.
The first half was one sided as the homeside
put PAOK under pressure. The chances weren't many but
it was clear that Rapid Bucharest is the better side.
The only goal on the game came in the
last minute of the first half. The goal came through
a freekick near the edge of PAOK's penalty area. Maldarasanu
placed the ball over the wall into the back of the net
leaving the keeper without a chance.
During half time, Amir Amzy came on to
replace the centre back Feutchine. The Egyptian was
rock solid in defense and helped in keeping Rapid forwards'
danger at bay.

In the 56th minute, Shikabala came on to replace the forward
Salpigidis. Shikabala played more like a right winger and
did it with great success. The Egyptian was dangerous as he
used his skills to evade opponents and sent a few dangerous
crosses from the right wing into the penalty area.
With Amir and Shikabala on the pitch, PAOK took
control of the game and forced Rapid to defend. Amir played
a very good role in defense and prevented many fast counter
attacks either by direct interception of key passes or using
his aerial abilities to clear the ball with his head.
Despite this, PAOK couldn't equalize and the
game ended in a 1-0 defeat which means their failure to qualify
to UEFA cup's next round.
