Another penalty for Ajax

Paschalakis saves it.

Penalty for Ajax

Gooooooooooooooooooooooool Biseswar

Akpom with a big chance.

Big save by Paschalakis. Wide open game so far.

http://cyclingentertainment.stream/ajax-vs-paok/ With annoying Dutch commentary, which I muted and listen on radio.

That's a final score. APOEL qualifies. Let's hope it's PAOK that will play them and not Ajax.

All English crew for this one as far as referees is concerned. No news on any TV coverage in the US, Canada, etc.

Even without those 3 we had a chance of staying in the top division. Some of our athletes did not even come close to their best performances this year. Also I believe in some disciplines the wrong athletes were picked to compete.

First results of our possible opponents: CL: APOEL - Qarabag 1:2 EL: Slovan Bratislava - Dundalk 1:0

Oliveira scored the winning goal for Porto in their game against Krasnodar in the CL qualifying.

And losing 3:0 with 30 minutes to go..

Love this picture:

Had Pelkas made it 3:1 in first half things would have been different. The 2nd Ajax goal just killed the team psychologically. Could not recover from that mistake. We should be happy we did not concede more goals after that.

I think Henrique could have been useful, but if we would be loaning him every season it's better that he was sold. As for his contribution, his winning goal in the cup final was worth the money we paid for him.

We stand no chance of qualifying. Ajax is one level better than PAOK. Hopefully we will at least have a respectful showing in Amsterdam.

Final score 2:2 I would not call the result disappointing. After all we did not lose (as everyone expected) to the team that reached the semis of the CL last season.

Stoch in for Jaba

In for Biseswar

Limnios in for Pelkas.

Cheap goal. Poor clearance by Paschalakis initially and then Varela.
