PAOK-Panathinaikos 2-0: The Double-Headed Eagle 'sealed' the qualification and booked a date with OFI in the final

PAOK secured a 2-0 victory over Panathinaikos, advancing to the Greek Cup final against OFI.

In a decisive match at Toumba, PAOK dominated Panathinaikos, securing a 2-0 victory and progression to the Greek Cup final, scheduled for April 25 against OFI. The goals were scored by Giakoumakis and Hatzidis, mirroring the performance seen in their first leg encounter. This win marked a significant highlight for PAOK, showcasing their superiority throughout both matches against a struggling Panathinaikos side.

The first half saw PAOK take control of the game, suppressing Panathinaikos and forcing numerous mistakes. While Panathinaikos attempted to implement their strategy with Bakasetas and Tamboridakis, it became apparent that their execution fell short. The tactical approach from PAOK proved effective, as they aggressively sought an early goal to solidify their advance, maintaining a clear advantage in both possession and scoring opportunities.

Panathinaikos's disappointing performance continued throughout the match, as they failed to capitalize on any scoring chances and dropped out of a vital competition in what has been a difficult season for them. This cup exit amplifies the challenges the team has faced, while PAOK not only gears up for the final but also reaffirms their status as a leading contender in Greek football.
