HALF-TIME - Schalke 1-1 PAOK.
The first-half comes to an end then and both teams have impressed on occasions, with the visitors starting the better of the two. Schalke produced a fine team move to open the scoring but a quick equaliser from PAOK has given them a platform to now kick on. They still trail by three goals but they've shown spirit and heart in the second leg of this Europa League clash.
PAOK are still carving out plenty of chances but they continue to rush them at the minute, an early goal could worry the Schalke fans and it promises to be an entertaining second-half.
FULL-TIME - Schalke 1-1 PAOK.
Schalke do enough in the end to secure a 4-1 aggregate victory but the job was done from the first-leg. The pace in the first-half certainly helped the contest but that soon dropped off and the German side were more than happy to cruise to victory.
In the end, PAOK's mistakes from the first leg cost them dear but they showed plenty of passion and battled on until the end. Schalke's attention will now turn back to the Bundesliga as they await the draw for the next round.
