Intro:

PAOK Thessaloniki defeat Panthrakikos 3-0 in Greek SuperLeague.

Script:

After Atromitos winning earlier on Sunday, PAOK knew a win over Panthrakikos would take them back into second in the Greek Super League.

After a goalless first half at the Toumbas Stadium, the hosts came out strong after the break and took just 18 minutes to find the net when Ergys Kace fired in a powerful shot from distance.

Kace's attempt appeared to be stopped by Panthrakikos goalkeeper Giorgos Athanasiadis, but the goalie only succeeded in putting the strike into his own net.

Late in the game Zvonimir Vukic put the score out of the visitors' reach when he converted twice in two minutes, his second goal (and PAOK's third) also the fault of the unfortunate Athanasiadis who palmed the ball directly into the attacker's path.

PAOK's win leaves them on 54 points from 26 games, fully 20 points behind runaway league leaders Olympiakos, with eight matches to play.
