Hakim Ziyech and Chuba Akpom were on target as PAOK held Ajax to a 2-2 draw in the first leg of their Champions League qualification match played at Toumba Stadium on Tuesday.
The away side opened the scoring in the 10th minute through a free-kick from Moroccan international Hakim Ziyech.
However, the hosts restored parity in the 32nd minute after Dimitris Giannoulis’ cross from the left flank found an unmarked Chuba Akpom in the box, allowing the Nigerian forward to finish with aplomb.
The Greek side then took the lead for the first time in the game through Leo Matos’ effort in the 39th minute.
