Ali will definitively miss this game due to the dislocated shoulder he sustained in the first game.

Sharing this (hilariously auto-dubbed) press conference on the Ukranian side. These guys are SO MAD at us hahaha

Can’t find a link 

[Dutch Eagle]

but might be geoblocked for you

 

[PaokCT]

Yes it is. But I found one! 

[PaokCT]

Not liking how we are playing. No real offense over the past few minutes

[italosPAOK4]

nikh prokrish pame dunata

[PaokCT]

Taison sucks

[Blackhawk]

Konstantelias non-existant in the game so far.

[PaokCT]

No one is. We look content taking a 0-0 draw. 

[Blackhawk]

Unfortunately in those cases that usually backfires.

[Dutch Eagle]

Yellow Hatzidiakos. Like last week. Will he be suspended next match or is it after 3 yellows in the qualifiers?

Need to be carefull. Just saw that FCSB and Başakşehir are already eliminated in the Conference League and Ludogorets is following. They are regulars in Europa. Of course we have a goal advantage and the safety net of the Conference League but still ....

[PaokCT]

My guess is the plan was to keep a 0-0 till HT. Then Kyiv will have to open up and we will look to counter

[Dutch Eagle]

GGOOOOOOAAALLLLL

[Blackhawk]

Konstantelias 1:0

[PaokCT]

Goal! Konstantelias

[Dutch Eagle]

Delias 1-0

[pash]

Gorgeous goal

I think I heard the guy say three yellows

[PaokCT]

Great time to score too. Right before HT.
