With a performance straight out of their fans’ wildest dreams, PAOK…”demolished” Dinamo Zagreb 5-1, overturning their 2-0 defeat in the Croatian capital and celebrating a historic qualification to the UEFA Europa Conference League quarter-finals at the ecstatic Toumba Stadium.
Abdul Rahman Baba (27′), Petar Šutlić (33′), Brandon Thomas (42′), Konstantinos Koulouris (73′), and Andrija Živković (88′ pen.) scored for Razvan Lucescu’s team, with Arber Hoxha (49′) briefly bringing the tie back into balance at the start of the second half.
But also, one of the greatest nights in the European history of Greek teams was written in Batška Topola, Serbia.
Olympiacos destroyed Maccabi Tel Aviv 6-1 in extra time, becoming the first team in the European cup history to overturn a three-goal deficit from a home defeat, after losing 4-1 at “Karaiskakis” Stadium.
Thus, the Greek team advanced to the quarterfinals of the Europa Conference League.
