In a commanding display of skill and strategy, PAOK dismantled Panserraikos with a decisive 5-0 victory at the Dimotiko Stadio Serron on November 2, 2025. The match marked another chapter in PAOK's impressive season as they continue to chase the top spot in Super League 1, while Panserraikos finds itself struggling at the bottom of the table.
From the outset, it was clear that PAOK came ready to assert their dominance. Just 16 minutes into the match, Magomed Ozdoev opened the scoring with a well-placed shot that left Panserraikos goalkeeper Antonis Tsiftsis with little chance to react. This early goal set the tone for what would become a long afternoon for the home side.
Despite being on the back foot, Panserraikos attempted to regroup and find their footing. However, their efforts were thwarted by a relentless PAOK attack that seemed to be firing on all cylinders. The visitors maintained possession and created several chances throughout the first half, but they could not add to their lead before halftime.
As the second half unfolded, PAOK continued to apply pressure. In the 74th minute, Ozdoev struck again, doubling his tally and putting his team firmly in control at 2-0. His second goal showcased his ability to find space and capitalize on defensive lapses from Panserraikos.
The floodgates truly opened when Giorgos Giakoumakis, who had been a constant threat throughout the match, scored in the 81st minute. His goal further demoralized Panserraikos as they struggled to contain PAOK's attacking prowess. With just moments left in regulation time, Alessandro Bianco capped off an impressive performance by adding a fifth goal for PAOK in stoppage time.
This result is particularly significant for both teams within their current league standings. With this win, PAOK solidifies its position near the top of Super League 1 with 20 points from eight matches-remaining undefeated this season with six wins and two draws. On the other hand, Panserraikos remains mired in trouble at 12th place with only five points from eight games played-a stark contrast reflecting their struggles this season.
Looking ahead, both teams face crucial matches next week. Panserraikos will travel to Levadiakos on November 9 as they seek desperately needed points to escape relegation fears. Meanwhile, PAOK will face off against fierce rivals Panathinaikos, where they will aim to maintain their title challenge and extend their unbeaten run.
Reflecting on my pre-match prediction of a close contest favoring PAOK by a scoreline of 3-1 feels almost laughable now; I clearly underestimated just how dominant they could be against a struggling opponent like Panserraikos. As we move deeper into this season of Super League 1, one thing is certain: every match counts more than ever for teams fighting for survival or glory alike.
