  1. PAOK 1-1 Aberdeen

    Ooft, Aberdeen almost regain the lead.

    A Graeme Shinnie cross hits either Duk or his marker and PAOK keeper Kotarski claims with relief.

  2. 'Rash Rubezic gets caught out'

    PAOK 1-1 Aberdeen

    Rory Loy
    Former Dundee & St Mirren forward on BBC Sportsound

    It's Barron and Shinnie who both go charging in the middle of the pitch, and Rubezic is far too rash and gets caught out.

    It's lovely timing from Despodov and Taison makes no mistake at all.

    It's a goal of the highest quality.

  3. 'Out of nothing'

    PAOK 1-1 Aberdeen

    Stephen Craigan
    Former Motherwell captain on TNT Sports

    PAOK just show their ability. How dynamic and quick they are.

    They've been pushing and probing. Aberdeen have been doing well, but out of nothing it's level.

    GOAL! PAOK 1-1 Aberdeen

    Taison

    Ach, Aberdeen are cut open and PAOK level.

    Despodov is sent charging into the right of the Dons box, puts one across the face and Taison smashes in the equaliser.

  5. PAOK 0-1 Aberdeen

    The bad news: PAOK have had their first shot.

    The good news: It was rubbish.

    The ball breaks to the edge of the Dons box and Stefan Schwab's eyes light up, but he smashes way off target.

  6. PAOK 0-1 Aberdeen

    So far this has been a very disciplined performance by Aberdeen.

    But despite the fact they have that priceless early lead, you feel the question remains, can they keep their discipline and concentration for the whole game?

    You sense they will have to.

  7. PAOK 0-1 Aberdeen

    I don't mean to be this guy, but is anyone getting Frankfurt flashbacks?

    The Dons started that game so, so well, got a goal goal, then we know how it ended.

    They'll have learned from that though. Big time.

  8. 'Sublime'

    PAOK 0-1 Aberdeen

    Stephen Craigan
    Former Motherwell captain on TNT Sports

    Duk hasn't been as explosive as last season, but this finish is absolutely textbook.

    It's sublime. A brilliant team goal.

  9. 'Magnificent Duk'

    PAOK 0-1 Aberdeen

    Rory Loy
    Former Dundee & St Mirren forward on BBC Sportsound

    My goodness, what a first touch!

    The ball comes in low from Nicky Devlin and Duk takes a lovely first touch with his right, biffs Troost-Ekong out the way and, with his left foot, slots it into the back of the net.

    Magnificent finish.

  10. 🦆 Cometh the Duk

    PAOK 0-1 Aberdeen

    Tyrone Smith
    BBC Scotland at Toumba Stadium

    Cometh the hour, cometh the Duk.

    The touch, turn and goal was like the Duk of old.

    GOAL! PAOK 0-1 Aberdeen

    Duk

    Hiya! That's a SUPERB goal.

    A break forward from the Dons ends with Nicky Devlin drilling in a low ball for Duk, who touches, turns and smashes past the keeper from close range.

    That's the player we watched last season.

    Aberdeen goal

  12. PAOK 0-0 Aberdeen

    PAOK whip in a dangerous deep free-kick, but Stefan Gartenmann is there to mop up and wins a foul in the process.

  13. 'Dons well organised so far'

    PAOK 0-0 Aberdeen

    Rory Loy
    Former Dundee & St Mirren forward on BBC Sportsound

    Aberdeen are well organised at the back.

    It's very difficult for PAOK to get through the lines and they will maybe need to move the ball a little quicker to find Konstantelias higher up the pitch.

  14. 'Brighter days are ahead'

    PAOK 0-0 Aberdeen

    This Aberdeen fan will be hoping the message on his jumper rings true tonight...

  15. PAOK 0-0 Aberdeen

    Another break forward from PAOK, another heavy pass brings it to an end.

    Aberdeen will take that all night long.

  16. PAOK 0-0 Aberdeen

    Every time I look up, PAOK are playing another pass.

    But Aberdeen look fairly comfortable *touches wood* so far.

  17. 'Dons have to get forward'

    PAOK 0-0 Aberdeen

    Stephen Craigan
    Former Motherwell captain on TNT Sports

    When you come away from home in Europe, yes, you sit behind the ball, but you've got to get bodies forward when you get the chance.

  18. PAOK 0-0 Aberdeen

    PAOK seem to have the ball for an age again, but it all breaks down then Aberdeen just give them it straight back.

    Here comes Graeme Shinnie though. A belter of a slide tackle to win it.

  19. PAOK 0-0 Aberdeen

    That's decent from the Dons.

    Their first venture forward and Nicky Devlin bends one in. It's dangerous but no-one's there.

  20. PAOK 0-0 Aberdeen

    The hosts eventually look for a killer pass, but it takes a clip of an Aberdeen leg and Kelle Roos picks it up happily.
