The second half Marseille almost started with a goal conceded – Prijovic after transmission of the Mac remained head to send the ball into the empty net, but the forward of PAOK did not reach the ball.

Literally in reciprocal attack “Olympic” scored his first goal in European competitions – Bogdanov filed with a penalty kick, and bilen’kii played ahead and made his name in club history.

In the 59th minute PAOK from their only shot on goal evened the score base area of Olympique de Marseille slept spurt Pedro Enrique, who swung a feint of the defender and from an acute angle sent the ball into the net.
