  • 31' The Array continues to deliver drama. Both PAOK FC and Sport Lisboa e Benfica are desperate not to drop points on matchday .

  • 63' A tactical swap from PAOK FC — Evgen Shakhov on, Jose Canas off on 63 minutes.
  • 68' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Haris Seferovic suffering a number of foals already.

  • 84' Poor challenge from Evgen Shakhov. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
  • 85' Joao Felix has so much to prove this time. He replaces Haris Seferovic on 85 minute.
  • 90' Dimitris Pelkas is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for PAOK FC tonight.
  • The referee blows the final whistle. Sensational lose for PAOK FC.
