Cvetkovic's early strike gives Anderlecht win at PAOK
PAOK's UEFA Europa League third qualifying round tie with Anderlecht at Toumba Stadium ended 1-0 to the visitors, the only goal arriving inside the opening minute. M. Cvetkovic converted from Enric Llansana's assist to put Anderlecht ahead almost immediately, and that early strike proved decisive as the scoreline held through to half-time and beyond.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
PAOK dominated territory for long spells, finishing with 64 percent possession against Anderlecht's 36, yet could not translate that control into a leveller. Both sides managed two shots on target apiece, underlining how the visitors made their fewer chances count while PAOK's pressure yielded little in the way of clear openings.
The contest grew increasingly stretched as it progressed, with fouls mounting on both sides and Anderlecht committing 23 to PAOK's 15. Three yellow cards were shown to the away side compared to two for the hosts, but neither team saw a man sent off, and PAOK's set-piece advantage of four corners to one was never converted into the goal that would have changed the outcome.
M. Cvetkovic scored the only goal of the match inside the first minute, finishing off Enric Llansana's assist to put Anderlecht ahead from the outset.
PAOK enjoyed a commanding 64 percent of possession but were unable to turn that dominance into a winning margin on the scoreboard.
