PAOK took all three points from Atromitos at Peristeri Stadium on Saturday evening, winning 2-1 in the Super League 1. Dimitrios Pelkas scored twice for the visitors, while Christopher Nunez replied for the hosts. The result leaves PAOK top of the table after two games, with six points from two wins.
Nunez gave Atromitos the lead in the nineteenth minute, but Pelkas levelled before half-time in the forty-third. The hosts had a chance to extend their advantage after Dimitrios Tsakmakis picked up two yellow cards in consecutive minutes, but he was replaced by Panagiotis Hatzidiakos at the break. By then the momentum had shifted slightly, though the score remained level at 1-1.
Pelkas turned it around after the break, adding a second goal in the sixty-fourth minute. Atromitos pushed forward but could not find an equaliser. Greg Taylor received a yellow card in the fifty-first minute before being substituted in the fifty-ninth, and PAOK made further changes through Taha Abd Ali, Aleksandar Zivkovic, and Pap Shérif Ndiaye.
PAOK dominated the attacking numbers, creating four big chances compared to two for Atromitos. The visitors registered more shots inside the penalty area — thirteen to six — and completed 394 passes against 328. Atromitos had higher shots accuracy from outside the box, but PAOK's efficiency inside the area proved decisive. The clean-sheet run came to an end for the hosts, who managed only two goalkeeper saves.
Atromitos sit eleventh after two defeats, while PAOK maintain their lead at the summit. The visitors have not dropped points so far this season, winning both matches played. Atromitos will need to respond quickly, having lost 1-0 to Olympiacos in their opening game before this defeat.
