Chris Coleman lined up Atromitos with 4-3-3. In goal, Tsintotas, with Keshrida, Acevedo, Tsakmaki, De Bock forming the defensive line. Erlingmark, Ender and Fridjonsson in the axis, with Jubitana, Robay in the wings and Vergo as the spearhead.

The match

Olympiacos entered the game with the intention of pressing and did so in the first quarter, camping in the area of ​​Atromitos which defended in every way, with Fortounis organizing the home team’s attacks together with Scarpa. At the same time, the Peristeriotes were playing mass defense, but in a counterattack due to a mistake by Fortounis, they managed to threaten with a shot by Romaille from a good position from inside the area, which Paschalakis removed on foot.

The tempo in the 15-25′ period dropped due to an injury to Kini whose head was… battered, with the Piraeus team continuing to play at a high tempo, looking for the goal that would make their job easier. That finally came in the 32nd minute when El Kaabi made the turn, Kinney shot the ball into the opposition and Masoura from close range with a header to give the match a score. Two minutes later, the Moroccan forward scored, but Masouras, who had provided the assist, was in an offside position, while in the 43rd minute, in another period of time and after another steal high up the pitch, the Greek midfielder saw his spot-kick stop at bodies.

Atromitos was trying to last until halftime and go to the locker room with a goal on his back, but he couldn’t. Because in the 45th minute Retsos made the ball on the back of the opposing defense, Masouras broke El Kaabi whose shot Tsidotas took but Kamara came to take the rebound to make it 2-0. The “red and whites” with Scarpa, Ese and Kamara in the axis had high percentages of possession and pressure, as well as good circulation since all three have quality elements and are excellent with the ball at their feet, while Olympiacos played rationally and at intervals pressed suffocatingly the Peristeriotes. At the same time, in the first half Atromitos had a fearful image, he hesitated to come forward, while the lack of rhythm was evident for Coleman’s team.

Olympiacos entered the second half with the punches as well, finding a third goal in the 49th minute. After some terrific pressure from Ese on Ender and a steal from Masoura, El Kaabi was cut inside the area but the Greek winger was there to take advantage and score to make it 3-0. Martinez’s side produced some impressive pieces on the grass of the Faler pitch, stealing balls and having a quick transition, which allowed him to constantly create moments in the opposing frames.

In the 53rd minute, Atromitos called for a penalty when Vergos fell in the area after a duel with Retsos and… hugs between the two players, with Perrakis showing “you’re playing” and the VAR agreeing with him. Martinez gave a breather to Fortunis, Masoura (57′) in front of Tsoukarytski and rhythm to Biel, Carvalio, with Olympiakos continuing at the same pace and the Peristeriotes unable to follow.

Biel rattled the right-hand post in the 63rd minute after another superb attacking display, with Atromitos trying to slow down the tempo afterwards. The hosts did not let their foot off the gas, the fourth goal seemed to be a matter of time and came in the 77th minute: Alexandropoulos tried his feet from a distance, Tsintotas did not get away properly and Kini, who had holed up in a forward role, scored with a terrible finish in the move to overflow the score (4-0).

Brnić also made his debut, showing a lot of spirit and self-confidence in the quarter he played, as he didn’t hesitate to score tries, while he almost scored an assist, but Biel was impressively beaten by Tsintotas. The latter, for no reason or reason, made a mess in the final after correctly seeing a second yellow card from Cetsila as he caught the ball outside the area and angrily protested to the referee and quarterback! Seconds later, the final whistle came with Olympiakos sweeping and making it 2/2 in the league, while Atromitos in its first official match this year was disappointing and failed to look even a little bit competitive at any point in the match.

MVP: Ese was a feast for the eyes, but the…unofficial award goes to Masouras who scored two of his team’s four goals and had a hand in the other two! The Greek midfielder needed to find the back of the net because he had a big “guinea” in the last period and looked psychologically down.

The whistle: Tsetsilas did not have many difficult phases to face. In Atromitos they called for a penalty on Vergo (with the score at 3-0) by Retso, with the referee and the VAR agreeing that there was no violation after the “hugs” of the two players. The dismissal of Tsintotas in the final is correct.

OLYMPIC: Paschalakis, Kini, Retsos, Doi, Rodinei, Ese, Mandi Kamara (72′ Alexandropoulos), Scarpa (83′ Brnic), Fortounis (57′ Carvalho), Masouras (57′ Biel), El Kaabi (71′ Arabi).

FEARLESS: Tsintotas, Keshrida, Acevedo, Tsakmakis (59′ ltr. Athanasiou), De Bok, Ender, Erlingmark, Fridjonsson, Wubitana (59′ Dirks), Robay (73′ Trimmatis), Vergos (66′ Andzielski).
