Baba Rahman reacts after late goal earns PAOK draw against Malmo in UCL qualifiers

Ghana defender Baba Abdul Rahman

Ghana defender Baba Abdul Rahman has quickly shifted his attention to the return leg of the UEFA Champions League qualifier against Malmo.

The former Chelsea defender continued his prolific run since moving to Greece last summer with a late strike to earn PAOK Thessaloniki an important draw in Sweden.

The Greek champions will host the Swedish giants in Toumba next week for a place in the next round of the qualifiers for the group stage of Europe's elite competition.

"See you in Toumba," posted the experienced left-back on X after the match.

Rahman has been a key figure for the Black and White, helping them win the league last season as the defender with the most goal contributions in the Greek topflight.

Meanwhile, in an exhilarating match on Tuesday evening, Pontus Jansson opened the scoring for the hosts, but Taison levelled for PAOK before the break.

However, Sebastian Nanasi restored the lead for the Swedish outfit before Rahman netted with 15 minutes remaining.
