Three goals, three injuries at Agrinio
Panetolikos 1–3 PAOK, and your team got the win the hard way. Taha Ali, Sheriff Ndiaye and Soretire scored (1) (2) (3) (4). PAOK led comfortably after a strong first half, then had to grind through a scrappy second (1).
That is 12 points and second place in the Super League, with a goal difference of +7 (2). The first demanding stretch of the season is done, and a three-week international break starts now (4).
But the headline is the treatment table. Ali, Jiri Pavlenka and Arij Elustondo all had to come off with injuries (1) (2) (4). All three were forced changes, not tactical ones.

Taha Ali injured, and PAOK do not want him with Sweden
Taha Ali scored his first goal in Greece, then went off with shoulder trouble in the 48th minute (3). Same shoulder, again. He felt discomfort in the first half but started the second, and then the problem put him out for good (3).
PAOK do not want to release him to the Swedish national team for the upcoming camp, according to reports (3).
Michailidis hits 100
Giannis Michailidis made his 100th Super League appearance for PAOK in the win at Agrinio (2). He has been a part of this defence since the Aris days, and he is still there.
Agrinio keeps giving
PAOK's record at Panetolikos is unreal. Sunday's 1–3 was their 13th straight away league win at Agrinio (2). Across all competitions, that is 14 consecutive wins in a row there.
