Akpom turns to PAOK's reverse fixture away to Ajax

Chuba Akpom has hailed PAOK’s performance against Ajax after the two sides played out an entertaining 2-2 draw in the first leg of their Champions League qualification fixture on Tuesday evening.

Akpom ‘s 32nd-minute strike in the four-goal thriller gave PAOK the momentum to push for a second goal in the 39th minute, however, the Greek side had to settle for a draw after Klaas Jan Huntelaar rescued a point for the visitors with his 57th-minute effort.

Despite the disappointment of having to throw away the lead in the second half, the 23-year-old forward believes there are positives to take from the encounter as focus shifts to the second leg clash billed to take place in the Netherlands next week Tuesday.
