Ghana defender Baba Rahman showcased his scoring prowess once again as he played a crucial role in inspiring PAOK to a thrilling 2-2 draw against AEK Athens in the Greek Super League.
Rahman, who has emerged as the highest-scoring defender in the Greek League, ignited PAOK’s fightback with a superb strike from just outside the penalty box in the 62nd minute. His goal proved to be a turning point as PAOK rallied from a 2-0 deficit.
Not content with just scoring, Rahman also played a pivotal role in the build up to Magomed Ozdoyev’s 89th-minute equaliser, ensuring PAOK secured a valuable point on the road.

His contributions have been instrumental as PAOK competes for both the league title and the Europa Conference League.

- Opting out of AFCON 2023 solely based on footballing reasons – Baba Rahman
Rahman’s resurgence comes as a relief for both himself and Ghanaians, especially considering his struggles with form and injuries in the past years.
Opting out of the national team for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) to focus on recovery and regaining form has proven to be a wise decision, as Rahman now appears to be in peak condition.
As PAOK prepare to face Club Brugge in the UEFA Europa Conference League quarter-finals, Rahman will be eager to maintain his impressive form and continue making significant contributions on the field.
