UCLQ: Troost-Ekong marks return from injury with game-winning goal for PAOK

William Troost-Ekong scored the winner as PAOK beat Bosnian club Borac Banja Luka 3-2 in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League second round tie on Wednesday.

It was Troost-Ekong’s first match since the 2023 AFCON final in February following an injury layoff.

With the match tied 2-2, Troost-Ekong scored in the 51st minute to give his Greek side the lead in the first leg.
