PAOK protests missed penalty call in Europa League win over Dynamo Kyiv

PAOK achieved a significant away victory, defeating Dynamo Kyiv 3-2 in Poland to gain an advantage in their Europa League qualifying tie. However, the Greek club has voiced strong objections regarding a specific incident during the match.

The "Dikefalos tou Vorra" (Two-Headed Eagle of the North) is protesting a decision in the 24th minute. During this phase of play, player Mytikas entered the Dynamo Kyiv penalty area and appealed for a penalty after what PAOK officials deemed a foul by an opposing player.

Club representatives reviewed the incident and firmly believed a penalty should have been awarded. To highlight their grievance, PAOK FC shared a video of the contentious moment on their official social media channels, accompanied by the caption "It’s a penalty…". The post aimed to draw attention to the perceived injustice and rally support from their fanbase.

This victory provides PAOK with a valuable lead heading into the second leg of the Europa League second qualifying round, but the controversy over the penalty call is likely to remain a talking point.
