In the first match, the PAOK team hosted Tel Aviv's "Maccabi" club. The Israeli players performed at the level of the hosts, and their play was no less impressive.
At the beginning of the game, the "Maccabi" team organized an attack by passing the ball in front of the penalty area. Dor Perets, although he escaped the defenders, could not deliver an accurate shot on goal, but in the next situation, he faced the goalkeeper one-on-one and hit the ball with his foot.
On the third opportunity, Perets scored a goal, but it was disallowed because Roy Revivo, who passed the ball to him, was offside. In the second half, Kervin Andrade deceived a defender and came close to scoring, but the PAOK goalkeeper made a brilliant save.
From the "Maccabi" team, Abdul-Rahmon Baba made a header, but the goalkeeper saved the ball. Ali Kamara also cleared the ball off his own goalpost.
Magomed Ozdoev played on the field for 65 minutes, while Fedor Chalov came on in the 72nd minute. Chalov had a good chance in stoppage time but shot at the goalkeeper and was offside.
The match ended with a 0:0 score. In this game, both teams played strongly in defense and struggled a bit to create scoring opportunities.
As a result, a draw was recorded.
