Panserraikos also made it to the quarterfinals, eliminating Asteras Tripoli
With a very serious face from the first to the last minute, despite the extensive rotation, PAOK defeated Volos 2-0 in their second game for the “16” Greek Cup and with an aggregate score of 2-0, comfortably advanced to the quarter-finals of the competition for another year.
Constantelia’s superb goal in the 17th minute and Schwab’s finish in the 73rd minute sealed victory for Razvan Lucescu’s side, who returned to winning ways after last Sunday’s (7/1) derby defeat against Aris. In the quarter-finals, Thessaloniki will face Panseraikos.
THE PAOK ehe had his first good moment in the 10th minute when Brandon Thomas didn’t find the ball well after Constantelia’s turn and Rafa Soares didn’t mark correctly.
In the 17th minute, PAOK took the lead with a terrific goal by Constantelia. The 20-year-old midfielder took the ball in the center on the left, made the move, found himself outside the area and with a nice right-footed shot sent the ball into the left side of the net, making it 1-0.
Volos tried to react by missing a chance in the 67th minute with Koba’s shot, which went wide but Zivko Zivkovic saved for a corner.
In the 73′, the North’s doubleheader “cleaned up” the match. Sastre turned the ball towards the area, the ball passed under the feet of several footballers and reached Schwab who scored for 2-0, despite the attempt of Kalogeropoulos to chase on the line, it was described in APE BPE.

Panserraikos is also in the quarterfinals of the Cup
The 2-0 victory at “Th. Kolokotronis” proved to be a powerful legacy of qualification for Panserraikos, who secured their presence in the quarter-final stage of this year’s Greek Cup after a 1-1 draw with Asteras Tripoli in the second game.
In the quarter-finals of the competition, Pablo Garcia’s team will face the club that will be qualified by the pair of Volos and PAOK.
The game was anything but easy for the hosts, as the Arkades with nothing to lose played freely, pressed and managed to take a 1-0 lead at half time thanks to Manzi’s goal with a header in the 16th minute, following a corner kick, while in the 24th minute, the guests came close to a second goal, but Sourlis’ effort went wide.
THE Panseraikos equalized in the 56th minute, when after a nice collaboration Petavrakis crossed, Aleksic got the header and beat Grammatikakis making it 1-1. In the 59th minute, Zouglis’ diagonal shot went wide and four minutes later the Peloponnesians missed a new, this time a much bigger chance for the lead, it was pointed out in APE BEE.
In the 63rd minute, Mantzis missed the goal, when he initially shot from the small area to be blocked by Katsikas and then he himself, with a header from very close, sent the ball out.
Astera’s hopes of a turnaround were dashed in the 66th minute when Diarra was sent off with two yellow cards, leaving his side one man short.
