“Mass substitutions as four players are changed simultaneously”
“Giannis Michailidis booked for heated argument with referee”
A cagey affair between two Greek giants ended goalless in what proved to be a tactical stalemate at the Karaiskakis Stadium. Both sides struggled to create clear-cut chances throughout the 90 minutes, with defensive solidity taking precedence over attacking flair. The match was defined by heavy squad rotation from both managers, with wholesale changes made around the 65th and 80th minute marks as coaches searched for a breakthrough. Late tensions boiled over when PAOK's Giannis Michailidis was booked for arguing with the referee, epitomizing the frustration felt by both teams in a match that lacked quality in the final third.
