Atromitos went ahead in the 19th minute when Nunes finished Karamanis’ cross directly into the corner. PAOK had controlled much of the opening period and had already threatened through Taha Ali and Pelkas.
PAOK drew level before halftime. Ali created from the left and sent the ball into the area, where Pelkas headed in the equalizer in the 43rd minute. An earlier Pelkas goal had been ruled out for offside.
The visitors completed the comeback in the 64th minute. After several attempts inside the Atromitos area, the ball reached Pelkas, who finished with a left-footed shot for 2-1.
Atromitos came close to restoring parity after a mistake in midfield, but goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka saved the first effort and Michailidis cleared the rebound off the line. PAOK held on for an away victory in its return to the Stoiximan Super League after its European elimination.
