Olympiacos disappointed in Antwerp! The “red and whites” were defeated by just 1-0 (thanks to the excellent Vatslik) from Antwerp, with the result that it did not cost them after the 1-1 draw between Fenerbahce and Eintracht Frankfurt as they could neither rise nor fall from second place.
Only Vatslik was saved, with Olympiakos being harmless and making no good moments in the opponent’s home and causing a lot of problems in the midfield.
Balikissa the only goal of the match just in the 7th minute, with the “red and whites” not reacting at any time ουν They are now waiting for their opponent for the knockout phase of the Europa League on Monday.
In the mind of the coach
Brian Priske defeated Antwerp 4-4-2. Butez is at home, with Bataille, Almeida, Desoleil, De Let in defense. Duomo, Gerkens, Verstrete, Balikissa the four in the midfield, with Benson, Egstein in the attack.
Pedro Martins led Olympiakos 4-3-4. At the end, Vatslik, with Lala, Cisse, Papastathopoulos, Reabchuk in the quartet of defense. Embila, Mandi Kamara, Bouhalakis in the midfield, with Roni Lopez, Oniekourou framing Tikinios in the attacking triple.
The match
The match for Olympiakos started in the worst possible way, after the home team quickly left the counterattack and Balikisa’s shot also found Cisse and ended up in the net of the helpless Vatslik to react for the 1-0 in 7 ‘. Three minutes later, Olympiakos made a phase but Papastathopoulos’s header went a little out, while a few minutes later Embila’s shot was blocked by Boutez. Antwerp reached 2-0 in the 22nd minute but Watslik took out Benson’s four-on-four, while Bataille did not find a home in the 35th minute and the 1-0 in favor of the Belgians remained until the end of the half.
Martins made a triple change at halftime throwing Massoura, Agibu, El Arabi but nothing changed. The Olympiacos players looked tired and without nerve, they did not threaten and in fact they accepted several phases. Nevertheless, Vatslik with terrible interventions in the second half kept the score low and hoped that his teammates would create an opportunity to avoid defeat, but this would not happen until the end of the game.
