Olympiacos - PAOK 1-1: A "draw" that left both behind

The big game of the 10th matchday of the Stoiximan Super League ended without a winner, with Olympiacos and PAOK drawing 1-1 at "Georgios Karaiskakis".

Piraeus took the lead with Gonzales, but Zivkovic capitalized on a serious defensive error and set the final score. The draw essentially satisfied neither team, as league leaders Panathinaikos increased the points difference between them.

Balanced first half without goals

Olympiacos had more possession in the first half, but without creating many clear chances. Marius threatened twice, initially with a header in the 21st minute and then with a shot from inside the area in the 28th minute, without finding the target.

PAOK improved their performance after the first half-hour and had their most significant chance in the 31st minute. Zivkovic found Zafiris in a favorable position, but the Greek midfielder's shot went just wide.

Gonzales scored, Zivkovic responded

The "red-whites" started the second half stronger and in the 52nd minute, Monastirlis made an impressive save from a powerful shot by Marius.

The solution for Olympiacos came from the bench. Gonzales entered the field in the 56th minute and two minutes later capitalized on Jota Silva's low cross, opening the scoring with his first touch in the match.

PAOK did not give up and equalized in the 71st minute. Ortega hastily took the throw-in to Tiknizian, who had his back turned. Zivkovic stole the ball and with a left-footed shot, which ended up in the net via the post, made it 1-1.

Olympiacos sought the winning goal in the final minutes and had two good chances. In the 85th minute, Monastirlis saved Gonzales' shot, while Jota's rebound effort went wide. In the 89th minute, Saliakas' header missed the target and the 1-1 remained until the final whistle.
