From a corner by Morsey, Duarte leveled at Anthony, who could not find the ball full and Embila removed. Then Piraeus gained momentum and lost great opportunity for 3-1 in 60 ‘. In the center of Valbouena, El Arabi caught a header, Anestis removed impressively.

Between the two teams was played… Ping pong in that period and then it was the turn of Panetolikos to threaten, with Karelis losing an incredible opportunity in 66 ‘, as he missed in front of the goal in Duarte’s cross, because he did not find the ball well. Just before making it 3-1 Olympiacos had a double chance. After Ticinio hit Gary with the chest, who sent the ball to bodies, while Masouras missed the caps from a good position. Shortly afterwards everything was decided definitively.

The guests behaved naively under the pressure of Piraeus and Gary Rodrεςguez took advantage of Vrgots’s mistake, closed the ball and executed Anestis. Essentially, at that point the game “extinguished”with the Piraeus expelling any burden from them.
