Nigeria and Super Eagles captain, William Troost-Ekong scored the winning goal for PAOK in their hard-fought 3-2 victory over Borac Banja Luka in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers on Wednesday.
Troost-Ekong, who has been a regular for PAOK since joining the club last year, retained his place despite a long-term injury that sidelined him for the second half of last season.
He featured prominently for PAOK in pre-season and was in action during Wednesday’s match against Borac Banja Luka in the first leg of the Champions League qualifiers.
The game, which was expected to be a straightforward win for PAOK, turned out to be challenging as the Bosnian side responded to the two goals PAOK scored in the first half. However, Troost-Ekong came through in the clutch, scoring the decisive goal in the 51st minute to secure a 3-2 victory for PAOK.
