Lyratzis is flying to Lublin too for just in case. A player - not Kenny according to the media - might be too injured to play or sit on the bench. We'll see. 

Our initial squad:

Παβλένκα , Τσιφτσής, Γκουγκεσασβίλι, Κένι, Χατζηδιάκος, Αρίτζ, Μιχαηλίδης, Μπαταούλας, Μπάμπα, Τέιλορ, Γκόμεζ, Θυμιάνης, Σανταμαρία, Ζαφείρης, Καμαρά, Κωνσταντέλιας, Πέλκας, Τάισον, Άλι, Ζίβκοβιτς, Χατσίδης, Μύθου, Γερεμέγεφ.

Here's the lineup. Truly a new era, huh?

 

[PaokCT]

Wow. Dudes that have been with us for 3 days starting. Good on Lisci

[Blackhawk]

He is really taking some risks with this lineup. Santamaria has not played since February. Also surprised to see Gomez in the lineup.

Looks like it may be on YouTube as well as regular TV:

[pash]

Took em three minutes to score on us 

[Dutch Eagle]

Pfffff. 1-0 down already

[PaokCT]

lol they couldn’t score in 200 min last round but got a goal in 3 min

[PaokCT]

Ali’ shoulder just popped out. Great debut

[Dutch Eagle]

Deliasssssssss

[PaokCT]

1-1 Delias. 
 

looked offsides. But counts

Edited 5 hours ago by PaokCT

[pash]

Yeah def a dislocated shoulder, typical for us

Beautiful goal to make it 1-1. Now to score another 30

[PaokCT]

Not impressed with Kyiv defensively. They’ll sit back and attempt to counter

[pash]

Zafeiris with a goal but not sure if it'll be taken back yet

[PaokCT]

Goal! Kyiv player passed it back. 

[Dutch Eagle]

It counts. First goal for us.

[Blackhawk]

What a move by Delias to create the 2nd goal.

[Dutch Eagle]

Anderlecht 0-1 up in Sweden. Almost HT too.

[PaokCT]

In other news : Anderlecht leads 0-1 in Sweden

[pash]

Team is settling into a much less worrisome rhythm as the half progresses. Dynamo is not that great a team for sure.

[PAOKARA]

Great first half, in total control. Hopefully we can keep it up.

[pash]

Lmao just realized Lisci got a yellow - what for?? Being a chad?

[Dutch Eagle]

Santamaria 1-3
