The game began with Kifisia putting up a solid defense, though they struggled to create scoring opportunities.

Kifisia's Sebastian Leto attempted to shift the momentum with a direct free kick from Kostas Rukunakis that equalized the score at 1-1. However, the tide turned once more, leading to late goals from Abdul Rahman Baba and Giannis Konstantelias, solidifying the away team's victory. This match not only boosts PAOK’s confidence but also emphasizes the challenges ahead as the league progresses and teams vie for title contention.
