The 29-year-old defender scored and also played a key role in securing a 2-2 draw.
Rahman isn’t just defending; he’s also scoring goals. He made a remarkable shot from outside the penalty box, reducing the score to 2-1 when AEK Athens was leading by two goals.
Before this game, PAOK was leading the league, just one point ahead of AEK. Losing in Athens would have been tough for them. Rahman’s goal lifted the team’s spirits, and he was involved in setting up another goal, leading to a crucial equalizer in the 89th minute.
In the current season, Rahman has scored six goals and assisted three from his position as a left-back. He’s making waves as the top-scoring Ghanaian defender in Europe. With PAOK competing for league titles and in European competitions, Rahman could end up playing over 45 games this season—a remarkable turnaround considering his past struggles with injuries.
Rahman has scored six goals and assisted three- times in 36 games for his club so far this campaign.
“Incredible fight to defeat an enemy,” Rahman posted on X, formerly Twitter.
The former Chelsea player is highest-scoring Ghanain defender in Europe this season and with PAOK challenging for both the league title and the Europa Conference League.
