Match Info

PAOK Saloniki suffered a 2-1 home defeat to RC Celta de Vigo in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League knockout round play-off on February 20, 2026. The Spanish side secured a valuable advantage with two away goals in a tense encounter in Thessaloniki. Celta Vigo took control of the match early, scoring twice in the first half through incisive counter-attacks that exposed the PAOK defense. The Greek side emerged with renewed determination after the break and managed to pull a goal back midway through the second half, setting up a grandstand finish. PAOK poured forward in search of an equalizer but found Celta's defense and goalkeeper in inspired form, denying several clear chances. The match result leaves PAOK with a difficult task in the second leg in Spain, where they must win by at least two goals to have a chance of progressing in the competition.
