Former Chelsea defender Baba Rahman showcased his scoring prowess as he netted a goal in PAOK Thessaloniki FC’s 2-0 victory over Lamia in the Greek Super League.
The thrilling match, held on a Sunday afternoon, saw both teams putting up a fierce fight on the pitch to secure a win.
Despite a goalless first half and missed opportunities on both sides, PAOK remained resolute in their pursuit of victory. The statistics heavily favored PAOK, with Lamia yet to claim a single win in their previous face-offs against the Thessaloniki-based club.
The turning point arrived in the 71st minute when Brazilian midfielder Taison displayed his talent with a spectacular goal, propelling PAOK into the lead and laying the foundation for a potential triumph. As Lamia struggled to mount a comeback, PAOK intensified their offensive efforts, aiming to consolidate their position in the game.
As the clock ticked towards full time, Baba Rahman, in the 90th minute plus injury time, sealed the deal with a crucial goal, assisted by Brandon. His strike cemented PAOK’s victory with a final score of 2-0, underscoring their dominance over Lamia in their head-to-head encounters.
Baba Rahman’s impressive performance this season includes 17 appearances, four goals scored, and two assists in the Greek top flight.
