Anderlecht score two late to win before your return leg
Anderlecht beat La Louvière 2–1 in the Belgian league, and the goals came deep. Moussa N'Diaye equalised in the 83rd minute, then Ishaq Abdulrazak won it with a buzzer beater in the 90+5th (5). Anderlecht fired 33 shots. They looked ragged for long stretches, but they kept pushing. That relentlessness is what PAOK face in the return leg.
The maths: you need a two-goal win
PAOK lost the first leg at Toumba 0–1 last Thursday, August 6 (6). Colin Coosemans kept a clean sheet for Anderlecht that night. The return leg now requires your team to win by two goals to go through in normal time. A one-goal win forces extra time and possibly penalties. Anderlecht arrive with momentum after their late comeback, but they also showed they can be opened up.
Konstantelias now has his own song, as big clubs circle
Giannis Konstantelias has a song dedicated to him on YouTube (3). It is not just a fan video, it reflects the attention he is drawing. Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, Chelsea, and another Premier League club are all monitoring the PAOK midfielder (3). The song calls him a magician. The interest from Europe's elite says the same thing.
Fan reactions
Supporters are split. Some are calling out individual performances from the first leg, pointing fingers at the left side of defence for the goal conceded. Others are already looking ahead to the return leg with cautious hope, noting that Anderlecht's late show against La Louvière was chaotic and that PAOK can exploit that. Read the full thread here.
