A Thessaloniki derby is all about the noise. I hear Toumba was already rumbling before kickoff. The kop must have exploded when Zivkovic made it two. When two clubs share the same city, the result changes the mood of the whole town more than three points ever could.
Here's a stat you won't see in the box score: derbies between clubs from the same city carry more weight than three points. PAOK deserve credit for putting this away in the first half alone. But for this city, the result shapes the mood for days, so I'll be watching how Aris respond.
Bottom line first: PAOK basically finished the game inside the first 45 minutes. Ndiaye's penalty made it 1-0, then Zivkovic doubled it in the 41st. Looking at the full 90, the second half was controlled and composed — a level of poise you don't always see in a derby.
