AEK has regained the upper hand in its fight with PAOK for Greece’s second spot in next season’s Champions League qualifiers, beating its rival away on Wednesday, as the first half of the Super League playoffs came to a close.
PAOK was a shadow of its usual self and easily succumbed with a 2-0 score at home to an AEK that appeared more eager to win.
The Yellows scored via Dmytro Chygrynskiy and Marko Livaja and have matched PAOK on points, as well as snatching the advantage in goal difference at their head-to-head record.
