Немецкая команда вынуждена была отыгрываться, чтобы заработать очко в матче против хозяев- греческой команды, поскольку Роберт Мак вывел их в лидеры. 

The German side were forced to come from behind to earn a point in their Europa League match against their Greek hosts on Thursday as Robert Mak had put them in the lead

Gonzalo Castro's fortuitous goal ensured Borussia Dortmund remain unbeaten under Thomas Tuchel with a 1-1 draw at PAOK in the Europa League.

The midfielder netted with an attempted pass in the 72nd minute to earn a valuable point, although it was no less than the Germans deserved for a dominant display.

Dortmund were looking to build upon a good start to their continental campaign in Greece, having enjoyed a 2-1 home win over Krasnodar in their opening fixture.

But a failure to take a series of opportunities in the early part of the clash came back to haunt the Bundesliga outfit as Robert Mak's emphatic finish put the hosts ahead 11 minutes before half-time.

Dortmund continued to dominate thereafter, however, and finally grabbed a deserved goal through Castro's moment of luck.

They continued to press forward in search of a winner and, while that did not come, Tuchel will doubtless be delighted not to head into the weekend's crucial clash with Bayern Munich on the back of a loss.

While Dortmund headed into this clash unbeaten, they had drawn their two most recent fixtures following 11 successive wins in all competitions.

And Tuchel's men began the game like a team determined to ensure that did not happen again, with Jonas Hofmann hitting a volley narrowly over the crossbar.

The hosts were in a rich vein of form of their own having gone four games without a reverse, yet Dortmund continued to look the more threatening side as Sven Bender headed just wide after meeting Adnan Januzaj's corner.

That proved the first of several good chances in the early part of the opening half, with the best falling to Castro.

The midfielder played a fine one-two with Januzaj, only to see his effort denied by the legs of Robin Olsen.

Yet an opener remained elusive, with the visitors' frustration reaching boiling point when Hofmann fired a lovely low centre across the six-yard box that Marco Reus agonisingly failed to connect with.

Such annoyance paled in comparison to that felt when the hosts took the lead against the run of play in the 34th minute.

Erik Sabo played a delicious chipped pass over the top of the defence that Mak ran on to before hammering home a stunning strike off the underside of the crossbar.

The early stages of the second period continued along the same pattern of Dortmund dominance with little reward.

But their opponents continued to look a threat on the counter-attack, illustrated by Dimitar Berbatov only just missing the target with an audacious 30-yard lob.

It appeared Dortmund's endeavour would continue to bring little reward when Olsen denied Januzaj's free-kick.

Yet the goalkeeper's good work was undermined by an awful error moments later as, anticipating a touch from Reus, he was left helpless as Castro's chipped pass rolled beyond him into the corner.

That seemed to spur PAOK into life, and they almost grabbed a second in similar fashion when Roman Weidenfeller produced a diving stop to turn Jairo's cross around the post.

The Greeks were fortunate just to secure a draw, though, as Olsen's brilliant reactionary save denied an own goal before Park Joo-ho's driven effort flew inches wide.

  That's all for this evening. I've been Jonathan Davies - thank you for following the LIVE action from the UEFA Europa League, hope you enjoyed it. Until next time, goodnight!

  It was honours even at Stadio Toumbas as Gonzalo Castro's equaliser rescued a point for Dortmund, who were held to a 1-1 draw in Group C following Robert Mak's first-half strike for PAOK.

  FULL TIME: PAOK 1-1 BORUSSIA DORTMUND
• 90' + 4'

   

  THERE WE GO! The referee blows his whistle and brings the match to an end.
• 90' + 2'

   

  It is looking like PAOK are going to hold out for the point. Dortmund can concede a free kick deep inside their half as they are understandably in no rush to take it whatsoever.
• 90'

   

  FOUR MINUTES! Dortmund continue to press and the fourth official has just raised his board to indicate that there will be four minutes of additional time here.
• 89'

   

  SubstitutionD. Berbatov Dimitris Petkakis
• 88'

   

  GOOD EFFORT! More Dortmund pressure sees the ball break kindly for Park, who shoots first time but just pulls a decent effort wide of the post and PAOK breathe again.
• 86'

   

  VITAL SAVE! Schmelzer's driven cross deflects off a PAOK body and dangerously towards goal, but Olsen shows terrific reflexes to push the ball over the bar.

  Ramos and Reus combine near the area as they look to breach the home side's defence. They deal with the situation very well again, though. We have got a very interesting finish on our hands.
• 82'

   

  GREAT REFLEXES! A PAOK cross from the left evades everybody in the box and Weidenfeller has to quickly scramble down to this left, before clawing the ball away to safety.
• 81'

   

  LOOK LIVELY! Jairo takes advantage of some very lacklustre defending from Subotic to get in behind, but Weidenfeller is out quickly to close the angle for the substitute.
• 78'

   

  Dortmund are launching wave after wave of attack, but PAOK are holding firm at the moment. How long can they do it for, though? They have 12 minutes to hang on.
• 76'

   

  The visitors really do have their tails up here. They are pushing forward in search of the winner, while it is looking likely that PAOK will settle for the draw now.
• 74'

   

  A very bizarre leveller for Dortmund but they will not care a bit. The unbeaten run looks set to continue, but they will now be keen to claim a first win in three games after consecutive draws.

  GoalG. Castro
  WHAT AN EXTRAORDINARY EQUALISER!!! Castro chips the ball into the area looking for Hofmann, who lets the ball run and totally perplexes Olsen who can only watch it trickle over the line.
• 71'

   

  GOOD SAVE! Januzaj picks himself up and whips the free kick towards goal, but Olsen shows very good reflexes to spring across his goal and palm the ball away to safety.
• 70'

   

  Januzaj shows more neat footwork on the edge of the area before being held up by Kace and the referee awards a free kick in a very dangerous position. This is a good chance for Dortmund.
• 69'

   

  Yellow CardGeorgios Tzavellas
• 68'

   

  The substitutes are straight into the action with Ramos producing some good movement in the area to meet Schmelzer's cross, but he is moving away from goal and cannot get any direction on the ball.
• 66'

   

  Tuchel makes a double substitution as he looks to get Dortmund firing on all cylinders. He introduces Adrian Ramos and Marcel Schmelzer at the expense of Mkhitaryan and Weigl.
• 65'

   

  SubstitutionHenrikh Mkhitaryan A. Ramos

  SubstitutionJulian Weigl Marcel Schmelzer
• 64'

   

  Castro has looked promising all night for the visitors and he delivers a threatening cross that is well dealt with, before Mkhitaryan is quickly closed down before he can get a shot away.
• 62'

   

  Dortmund continue to be lacking in imagination. PAOK are finding it fairly comfortable to deal with anything that is being thrown at them and they will hope that that continues to be the case.
• 59'

   

  CHEEKY ATTEMPT! Berbatov disposseses Subotic and tries his luck with an audacious lob that has Weidenfeller scrambling back, but there is just too much power on it in the end.
• 57'

   

  PAOK would find themselves upsetting the history books if they were to hold on here. They have won just one of their seven previous meetings against German opposition, that came way back in 1981.
• 55'

   

  They work the ball nicely to get Hofmann away through the right channel and he looks to deliver an immediate cross, but cannot connect properly and PAOK easily clear.
• 53'

   

  Dortmund have amassed a whopping total of 36 goals from their last 11 games in all competitions, but they are still looking a little short of ideas on how to open their account this evening.
• 52'

   

  Yellow CardNeven Subotic
• 51'

   

  ALMOST! PAOK hit Dortmund on the counter and deliver a dangerous ball into the area. Only the slightest of touches off a visiting head denies an almost certain goal at the far post.
• 49'

   

  It is worth noting that this would be Tuchel's first defeat in charge of Dortmund should the scoreline remain the same. His 13-match unbeaten run is in jeopardy unless his side find an equaliser.
• 47'

   

  Tuchel's words are clearly still ringing in the players' ears as they have made a bright start to this second half. They are knocking the ball around nicely and just need to start creating opportunities.
• 46'

   

  KICK OFF! The referee blows his whistle and Dortmund get us going once more.
•  

   

  The teams are coming back out onto the field and the second half is about to get started.
•  

   

  While Dortmund were on top for a decent spell of that first half, they were made to pay for not being creative and clinical enough with the chances that came their way.
•  

   

  Robert Mak's goal is the difference between the sides at the break. PAOK have performed in a solid manner and took their chance when it arrived on the counter attack.
•  

   

  HALF TIME: PAOK 1-0 BORUSSIA DORTMUND
• 45' + 3'

   

  Mr Taylor blows his whistle and brings this first half to a close.
• 45' + 1'

   

  CHANCE! A free kick is whipped in by Dortmund and goes all the way through to Weigl, who was not expecting the ball and cannot react quickly enough to direct it past Olsen.
• 45'

   

  TWO MINUTES! The fourth official raises his board to indicate that we will have just a couple of additional minutes at the end of this first half.
• 43'

   

  By contrast, PAOK are looking incredibly comfortable at the moment. They are knocking the ball around neatly at their own pace and appear very settled as we approach the break.
• 41'

   

  Dortmund appear to have had the wind taken out of their sails here. Tuchel will be keen to get his side in at half time and get his point across, as they look to get back into the game.
• 39'

   

  At the moment, that goal is enough to move the Greek side top of Group C above Dortmund. The other match sees Krosnadar leading Qabala by a goal to nil.
• 37'

   

  Berbatov gets a sniff of a chance as he pulls away from his marker at the far post, but just drags his first-time volley wide of the far post. The hosts are meaning business now.
• 36'

   

  It may have come against the run of play, but PAOK will not care one bit as they edge in front. It was a very smart finish, too, from a player who used to ply his trade in the Bundesliga.

  GoalRobert Mak
  PAOK TAKE THE LEAD!!! Right on cue, Mak springs the offside trap to latch onto a long ball forward from Sabo, before smashing it beyond Weidenfeller off the underside of the crossbar.
• 33'

   

  Yellow CardHenrikh Mkhitaryan
• 32'

   

  Considering what a positive start both sides made to this game, it has turned fairly sour and dull since then. It is fair to say that this is now a game that is crying out for a goal.
• 30'

   

  It is still goalless as we hit the half hour mark in Greece. Dortmund are arguably starting to shade things here, playing some nice football and looking to create opportunities for themselves.
• 28'

   

  JUST MAKE CONTACT!!! Some neat play from Dortmund down the right wing sees Hofmann fire the ball across the face of goal and Reus is just whiskers away from sliding in to turn it home.
• 26'

   

  PAOK's manager knows what it takes to make a mark in European competition. Tudor spent nine years plying his trade at Italian giants Juventus, reaching the final of the Champions League in 2003.
• 24'

   

  GOOD SAVE! A neat move from the visitors sees Castro finding Januzaj before racing onto the return pass, but his shot is well denied by the legs of Olsen.
• 22'

   

  The hosts know their own way around in Europe. They have won all three continental games here so far this season, scoring 12 goals along the way without conceding.
• 20'

   

  PAOK concede a corner after heading clear from Mkhitaryan's cross, but they deal with it comfortably as Januzaj's delivery leaves a lot to be desired in all fairness.
• 18'

   

  GOOD INTERCEPTION! Mkhitaryan looks the slide the ball through for Reus, but Vitor reads the situation well to step in and prevent the chance from coming to anymore.
• 16'

   

  Dortmund may have had to come through two qualifying rounds in this competition but they have scored goals for fun, netting 19 in their five matches so far.
• 14'

   

  It is fair to say that the game has lot a little bit of flow over these last couple of minutes. That is epitomised just now by the visitors over-hitting a simple pass to feet.
• 12'

   

  NOT FAR AWAY! Januzaj swings in a corner from the right which is met by the head of Bender, but he can only direct the ball just wide of the far post with Olsen flat-footed.
• 10'

   

  It is genuinely a tough one to call this evening. PAOK are unbeaten in their last four matches in all competitions, while Dortmund are yet to taste defeat in their 13 games this season.
• 8'

   

  We have seen a positive opening to the game from both sides. They are both pushing forward and looking to make something happen, which bodes for an entertaining and closely-fought contest.
• 6'

   

  Castro shows some good persistence to win the ball back for Dortmund before sliding it through for Reus. The striker had just strayed offside as the wall was played, though.
• 4'

   

  PAOK slowly work the ball forward at the other end. Berbatov flicks a long ball on for Mak, who failed to get back quickly enough from an offside position. Good start, this.
• 2'

   

  CLOSE! It has been a bright start from Dortmund and Hofmann is not too far away with a snap shot on the volley, which brushes the top of the net on it's way over.
• 1'

   

  KICK OFF! Mr Taylor blows his whistle and the hosts get the game underway!

  The teams are coming out onto the field and kick off is just moments away. Englishman, Anthony Taylor is our referee this evening.

  Thomas Tuchel clearly has Sunday's top-of-the-table Bundesliga clash with Bayern Munich in mind for Dortmund, as he makes eight changes to the side that drew with Darmstadt last weekend. Julian Weigl, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Marco Reus are the only surviving players from that game.

  Igor Tudor's men are unbeaten in their last four matches coming into this game. He makes two changes to the side that overcame Atromitos on Sunday, with Dimitar Berbatov and Erik Sabo coming in for Stefanos Athanasiadis and Dimitris Pelkas.
•  

   

  Both sides are protecting their unbeaten starts in this competition, PAOK played out a goalless draw with Qabala while Dortmund were 2-1 winners against Krasnodar.
