Watch Malmö’s crazy turn against Paok in the CL qualifiers in the player above.
After 2-2 in the first match, both teams had everything to play for in the second leg. And it was a goal-rich clash between the teams in Greece. A total of five goals in the first half.
The visitors took an early lead through in-form Sebastian Nanasi, who headed in the lead goal.
Paok equalized first on a free kick through the brass Taison. In the 43rd minute, they would then take the lead after centre-back Konstantinos Koulierakis fired a left-footed cannon towards the far cross.
It then became a crazy finish to the first half as the teams each scored a goal within minutes. And Paok took a 3-2 lead into the halftime break.
Drama in extra time
Malmö chased in the second half and scored the equalizing goal at the very end in the 96th(!) minute.
In connection with a chaotic situation in Paok’s penalty area, a clearance by the Greek team went to Nils Zätterström and behind the home goalkeeper.
– He shot my right foot, so I can’t take too much credit for it, says Nils Zätterström in MFF Play.
The 19-year-old also had a big role in Malmö’s winning goal when he played forward Anders Christiansen scored 4-3 for the visitors.
Czech Sparta Prague awaits in the playoff round. Malmö’s former star player Veljko Birmancevic scored twice for the Czechs as they advanced against Romanian FCSB.
In the event of a loss in the playoff round, games in the Europa League await – which in itself secures revenue of approximately SEK 140 million.
