On a December title match against Olympiakos at Karaiskaki stadium PAOK upset the odds by winning 2-1 to open a five-point lead at the top of the Super League table and pose as a genuine challenger for the title for the first time in the last three decades.

The Greece striker opened the score with a tap-in, with the goal coming against the run of play. Five minutes into the second half PAOK restored its lead after David Fuster's equalizer, with a spectacular volley after a 40-yard through-ball by Ergys Kaçe.
