Is this in contention for stupidest goal of the season?!

[Blackhawk]

Michailidis 3:1

[Dutch Eagle]

Michailidis but could also be listed as an owngoal

[Blackhawk]

UEFA gives it as own goal.

[Dutch Eagle]

And all the sites say indeed o.g. Toivio.

[Dutch Eagle]

Your boy Marcos Antonio subbed in for Ozdoyev

[Dutch Eagle]

At the same moment Vieirinha and Baba subbed in for Kedziora and Rafa Soares. 

[pash]

Antonio is so tiny, it's adorable.

Murg on for Konstantelias too

[Dutch Eagle]

And 4th sub: Murg in for Konstantelias.

[pash]

Lmao TOO EASY, well done by Murg, Antonio, Taison...

[Dutch Eagle]

And 4-1 Murg !!!!!!

[Dutch Eagle]

Penalty HJK. 

[pash]

I just wanted one more damn corner, and instead we give up a penalty after circle jerkin the ball around. Sad.

[pash]

[Dutch Eagle]

Your boy to blame.

Just like the Green Army

[Dutch Eagle]

And 4-2

[Dutch Eagle]

Tzimas for Brandon was our last sub. 

[Dutch Eagle]

And FT 4-2. Good run in this ECL GS. 

European relax in February.

[Blackhawk]

4:2 final score.

Nice win to end the group stage.  Eintracht lost to Aberdeen 2:0.

Final standings:

1. PAOK        16
2. Eintracht   9
3. Aberdeen  6
4. HJK            2

Some extra money, a sliver of a point to coefficient, and a confidence booster for the team. And I won like $20 so I am happy!

[Bananas]

Overall a great campaign so far.  Couldn't ask for more.  Sure it's just the Conference League but if we're going to be here we should be spanking most of these teams.  The victories over Eintracht were a nice bonus.

We will now skip a round and go straight through to the round of 16.  I'm curious, do we get any bonus UEFA coefficient points for skipping a game?

Yep, 1 point (1 point more than the runner-up): https://kassiesa.net/uefa/show_group_winners.php

In the knock-out points only are won for the country coefficient not for the individual

Stadium could be more full...

Official attendance 13,696. I doubt it. I think there were some 20K. But Greeks are famous not only for moussaka but also avoiding to pay (taxes).

[pash]

So in other words, we could have helped Greece had we gunned for second place instead of first ?

Typical PAOK, so selfish
