PIRAEUS, Greece (Interstat) — PAOK began its Super League 1 campaign with a narrow 1-0 victory over rival Olympiakos SFP on Sunday at Stadio Georgios Karaiskáki.

The match’s lone goal came early, with substitute Vicente Taborda finding the net in the seventh minute. He was set up by fellow substitute Davide Calabria, who later received a yellow card. PAOK managed the lead against the home side despite four total cautions in the contest.

The result defied pregame projections that heavily favored PAOK but predicted more scoring. The win gives PAOK a positive start in league play, while Olympiakos opens its season with a home defeat.
