The match

Olympiacos had the initiative of the movements at the beginning, with the image of the match being the expected one. The ball was at the feet of Piraeus, but they did not find a good phase in the first period, since o Gianniotis blocked before Bakabu became dangerous on Biel’s turn which cut in from the left. Atromitos was the one who created the first two good moments of the match, making it 1-0 billion in two minutes.

In the 13th minute, Rotariou took a corner from the right, o Stroungis made the projection and with the ball heading towards Paschalakis’ left window, the experienced goalkeeper made a flight and kept the “nil”. In the caps, Romaille went on the counter and found himself in a shooting position, but missed. THE Olympic seemed to wake up somewhat from the home side’s two very good chances, but a counter-attack with good prospects with Huang creating and Bakabu waiting for the final pass was cut off at the last minute by the Atromitos defence.

In the 24th Biel he stepped with claims in the area of ​​Peristeriotes, brought the ball to the left, but Gianniotis was ready and blocked the Spaniard’s shot. Hames’ foul in the 32nd minute did not worry the Greek goalkeeper, who had to intervene in the 34th minute. Fortounis tried his left, while entering the area and the former “red and white” goalkeeper blocked.

Mitchell was not satisfied with the creative part in the first part and passed him Masura after the break in order to stimulate the game of the visitors from the ends, taking out Fortounis. The game of Piraeus became more rational, who missed a great opportunity in the 52nd minute, with Hames threatening with an outside foul and Gianniotis making a difficult clearance in his corner.

Two minutes later, in the 54th minute, that is, it became 0-1. Embila distributed to Biel who with an elaborate pinch of the ball took out verticals to Bakabou who with a strong shot defeated Gianniotis. The “red and whites” looked for a second goal, with Bakabu coming close to a second personal goal in the 58th minute with a backheel after a carom and the gain was a corner.

From there, the match took on a wild beauty. The Fearless touch the 1-1 in the 61st minute with Fridjonsson’s header on the post, while De Bok then kicked a great chance. Finally, the equalizer came three minutes later, when the center of the Olympiakos defense did not work well from a ball from Romaykos and Fridjonsson got into a wedge, even catching up with his teammate, Kiartansson and with an elaborate finish he hung over Paschalakis.

The game opened up even more, with the movements of the two coaches testifying that they were going for victory. Although this does not show through the numbers. Olympiacos had their biggest chance (before 90′) with El Arabi not finishing well the chance he had in 78′, making a clumsy finish to Gary’s shot. THE Fearless made it 2-1 with his display Frijson from close range in the 81′ then Rotary’s header. Hames almost became a hero in stoppage time, making a solo effort and finishing with the right with Gianniotis making a nice intervention.
