Hatzidis Shines as PAOK Tops League with 3-0 Win

PAOK achieved an impressive 3-0 victory over OFI at Toumba for the 17th matchday of the Stoiximan Super League, thanks to an outstanding performance and the crucial contribution of Dimitris Hatzidis. The young attacking midfielder was the MVP of the match, providing two assists and constantly creating openings in OFI's defense. Yakoumakis, Pelkas, and Tyson scored for PAOK, who capitalized on the postponement of Olympiacos' match and climbed to the top of the standings with 41 points. OFI, on the other hand, appeared tired, affected by their recent cup effort and key player absences. PAOK now turns its attention to the European challenge against Real Betis.
