PAOK secured a comfortable 3-0 win against OFI at Toumba Stadium, in the 17th matchday of the Stoiximan Super League, with Dimitris Hatziidis being the standout performer. The young attacking midfielder played a crucial role with two assists and excellent pace, while Yakoumaki, Pelkas, and Tyson scored for the 'Black and Whites'. This victory, combined with the postponement of Olympiacos' match, propelled PAOK to the top of the league table with 41 points. The team of Razvan Lucescu confirmed their good form, with their attacking line dominating the game. OFI, on the other hand, showed signs of fatigue and was affected by the absence of key players, following their effort in the Greek Cup against AEK. PAOK now turns its attention to the European challenge, with the match against Real Betis in the Europa League approaching (22/01, 19:45). The team will aim to continue their good run and achieve a positive result that will help them secure the first position in the group. OFI, despite the defeat, remains in 9th place with 15 points, but has one game in hand, which they will play against Panathinaikos. The team will try to improve their performance and collect the points needed to ensure their stay in the category.
