Nikolay Kolev with a key contribution to PAOK's victory

PAOK recorded its 11th victory and 10th consecutive in the Volley League, after winning away against AOK Kalamata with 3:1 (25:22, 22:25, 20:25, 25:27). Thus, the team from Thessaloniki moved even closer to the top positions in the standings, while the hosts remained in 13th place and are entering a difficult period.

The big hero for PAOK was Fernando Hernandez, who scored 27 points with an impressive 72% attack efficiency and deservedly received the MVP award.

Nikolay Kolev also made an important contribution, finishing with:

  • 9 points

  • +5 in efficiency rating

  • 1 ace

  • 3 blocks

  • 62% attack efficiency

The key moment came in the fourth set, when PAOK withstood the pressure in a dramatic finish and closed out the match after a block by Kolev.

PAOK showed greater class in the decisive moments, and the strong block and stable attack from Hernandez and Kolev made the difference, especially in the last set.
