PAOK – AEK 0-0: Goalless Draw at Toumba and a Thriller at the Top
PAOK AEK derby draw: The derby of the “Double-Headed Eagles” at Toumba ended without a winner but with unabated suspense for the remainder of the league. Using the right keywords to describe the intensity, PAOK and AEK drew 0-0 for the 21st round of the Super League, in a match that had everything except a goal. This result keeps the “Union” (AEK) at the top but leaves all scenarios open for the title race.
Missed Penalty and Woodwork The 0-0 scoreline does an injustice to the overall picture of the match, as both teams had classic opportunities to take the three points. The “Black and Whites” could have taken the lead, but Strakosha said “no” to Giakoumakis’ penalty kick, while PAOK also came close to scoring in the final minutes through Camara. On the other hand, AEK was unlucky, hitting the woodwork twice with Koita and Jovic, proving they could have even left Thessaloniki with a victory.
A “Fiery” Table With this point, the situation at the top is shaped as follows:
-
AEK: 49 points (1st place)
-
Olympiacos: 47 points (2nd place – after the draw with Levadiakos)
-
PAOK: 46 points (3rd place – with a game in hand against Kifisia on 04/03)
AEK remained undefeated in yet another derby at Toumba, confirming its character, while PAOK showed once again that they are a “tough nut to crack,” despite their absences.
