Look at the goals
The protagonist for Nicky Heinen’s team, who had won 1-0 at the “Jan Breidel Stadium”, was Ferran Zutgla who scored twice (33′, 45′), destroying the hopes that the “black and white” had of reaching the first European semi-final in their history.
After an introspective first quarter, the Belgians imposed their tempo, threatening twice in the space of seven minutes: first in the 12th minute, when, after a partnership on the left, Bjorn Meyer turned but the unmarked Hugo Fetlesen’s spot-kick from the height of the penalty spot went over the rafters. And then in the 18th minute, when Michal Skoras made a cross from the right, but Zutgla failed to find the net in the move.
The third chance was also… medicinal. Again from the right, Kiriani Sabe made the parallel turn unmolested and Zutgla sent the ball into the net, catching the outgoing Dominik Kotarski for 0-1 in the 33rd minute. However, the Croatian goalkeeper saved his home side with an extremely difficult and instinctive save in the 40th minute, keeping out Zutgla’s close header in the 40th minute – the visitors played… volley in the PAOK area.
The “black and white” couldn’t stop the Belgians’ counterattacks and conceded a second goal at the end of the first half. The pass from the defense gave Skoras the opportunity to shoot, Kotarski saved but on the rebound Zutgla sent the ball into the net. The assistant raised the flag for offside, but VAR had a different view – 0-2 in the 45th minute. The first half ended with 1-10 final attempts.
Having no other choice, Razvan Lucescu made a double change, making his team more aggressive. Not much changed… A missed shot by Kirill Despodov in the 51st minute was the only, essentially, threat to Nordin Jakers’ goal. On the other side, Antonio Nousa’s individual energy and diagonal placement sent the ball past the left post of Kotarski’s goal.
Tyson (83′) and Philipp Ziegernagel (84′) tried their luck, as did Meyer (88′) but nothing changed until the finale with the Belgians securing qualification with an aggregate score of 3-0 and despite many absence problems with which they arrived in Thessaloniki. In the “4”, on May 2, Club Brugge will face Fiorentina at “Artemio Franki” while on the 9th of the same month, the second leg will be held at “Jan Breidel Stadium”. PAOK, for its part, will focus exclusively on its obligations for the Super League, hoping to win the title.
