Both teams registered 4 shots on target, reflecting the balanced nature of the contest.

PAOK
PAOK were proactive from the outset, enjoying the lion's share of possession and dictating the tempo for large spells. Their 15 shots and 8 corners highlighted their attacking intent, but a lack of clinical finishing kept them trailing until the dying minutes. The late equalizer was a testament to their persistence, but frustration will linger over missed opportunities and the need for sharper execution in the final third. Defensively, PAOK kept AEK largely at bay but were undone by a lapse in concentration in the 73rd minute. The three yellow cards point to a combative, sometimes desperate, approach as they chased the game late on.
Key Players
Strengths
Weaknesses
AEK Athens FC
AEK Athens FC, lining up in a 4-4-2, absorbed significant pressure but remained compact and dangerous on the break. Their patience paid off with a 73rd-minute goal, a reward for their disciplined defensive shape and swift transitions. Despite conceding more possession, they matched PAOK for shots on target and looked set for a valuable away win until conceding late. AEK's defensive discipline was evident with only one yellow card and a well-organized back line that frustrated the hosts for much of the match. However, their inability to close out the game after taking the lead will be a source of disappointment.
Key Players
Strengths
Weaknesses
Tactical Analysis
PAOK's 4-2-3-1 system allowed them to control possession, with Ozdoev and Meite anchoring midfield and Konstantelias providing creative impetus behind Jeremejeff. Their width, especially through Zivkovic and Taison, stretched AEK but often lacked the final ball to break through a disciplined back four. The home side's pressing forced turnovers but also left them vulnerable to AEK's quick transitions. AEK Athens' 4-4-2 prioritized defensive solidity, with Vida and Relvas marshalling the center and Koita and Marin providing cover in midfield. Their approach relied on soaking up pressure and springing forward through Varga and Zini. Substitutions in the second half aimed to shore up the midfield, but the late PAOK onslaught eventually paid dividends.
Turning Point
G. Konstantelias's 88th-minute equalizer, which shifted the momentum and denied AEK Athens a hard-fought away victory.
Man of the Match
G. Konstantelias
Delivered under pressure with a late equalizer and was a constant creative force for PAOK.
