PAOK Thessaloniki scored twice in the first 13 minutes against Tottenham before defending with 10 men for almost two thirds of the match to clinch a place in the next round of the Europa League today.
Dimitris Salpingidis and Stefanos Athanasiadis scored before Konstantinos Stafylidis was sent off for handball. Luka Modric converted the resulting penalty but PAOK won 2-1, leaving the English club facing elimination.
Five other clubs also progressed to the knockout rounds ahead of their final group games.
Former champion Atletico Madrid advanced with a 1-0 win at Celtic, Metalist Kharkiv clinched the point it needed with a 0-0 draw against Austria Vienna, while Braga beat Birmingham 1-0. Standard Liege and Hannover also qualified.
