Dominant Olympiacos against Aris, passed… air from “Kl. Vikelides”!

He reacted and left with the “double” from Thessaloniki o Olympic!

A more comfortable evening than what they expected and what the final score shows they had at “Ok. Vikelides” Piraeus, winning 2-1 Mars for its 19th game Stoiximan Super League.

Essentially, the match was largely decided in the first half, with Navarro to exploit in the 17th wrong exit of Houtesiotis, sending the ball into the net. Four minutes later it was 2-0 with Rodney to utilize it severe penalty, which Morten suggested against Fabiano. The “yellows”, who came up empty after the big qualification over AEK in the Betsson Cup, did not have the reserves to fight back, but entered the bay shortly before the end, with Kinney’s own goal at 90’+1′ after Zamora’s conversion.

He played for the first time as a starter Gelson MartinsCarvalhal gave Fortunis and Ortega breaths.

In the coach’s mind:

With 4-3-3 Manzios ordered Ares. At the goal was Houtesiotis due to the problems in the back that are bothering Questas. In the center of the defense Fabiano and Roz, while Odubazzo and Ferrari were the extreme backs. Verstraat, Pardo and Darida made up the trio in midfield. Suleimanov and Panagidis were on the two “wings”, while Moron was at the top.

With 4-2-3-1 Carvalhal started Olympiacos. In the goal Paschalakis, Retsos and Doi the two stoppers, with Rodinei on the right end of the defense and Kini on the left. Ese, Karvalios and Alexandropoulos in the midfielders. Masouras was on the right “wing”, while Zelson, who took the starting jersey for the first time, on the left, with Navarro staying at the top.

The match

After a grueling match for the Betsson Cup against AEK and Panathinaikos, Aris and Olympiacos were asked to find the reserves to cope with this particular “battle”. Both in terms of strength and spirit. The “red and white” showed more ready to do it. Maybe because of more solutions, but they certainly looked more determined to do it at the start, playing for the win, which looked like a one-way street.

In the 3rd minute, Olympiacos had the opportunity to threaten with Alexandropoulos shooting from the edge of the area, but over Roz, with Rodiney crossing, without finding Navarro, who was not in a good position inside the area. Piraeus pressed high from the start, leading to mistakes by the hosts, who did not keep the ball.

The Brazilian had a very good daywas almost permanently near the area of ​​the “yellows” and from his own cross came the 1-0, with Houtesiotis making a bad exit and Navarro saying “thank you”, sending the ball into the net from close range with a header in the 17th minute .

Before the festivities stop Olympiacos also made it 2-0. In the 19th minute, Fabiano found himself between Navarro and Masura, jumped for the header, finding the Spanish forward with his left elbow in the face and the referee showed the white bullet. Rodinei took charge and did his job, just like against Panathinaikos a few days before, scoring 2-0 in the 21st minute.

Before half an hour of the match was completed, the Piraeus found two more opportunities. In the 28th minute, in a phase, which again started from the feet of Rodinei, Alexandropoulos moved quickly without the ball, but his shot was weak on Houtesiotis who blocked. Immediately after, Navarro fed Zelson, who with a shot from the edge of the area sent the ball past the left post of the Greek goalkeeper.

THE Mars took some time to find his feet after the 0-2, he tried to react in the final stretch and played more openly, as a result he became more dangerous, but also more vulnerable defensively, with the “red and whites” to find places for a third goal. In the 35th minute, Akis Manziou’s team made a conditional visit to the area of ​​Olympiakos, but Masouras turned and kicked out before the situation became dangerous.

At his best for the third goal we mentioned earlier that Carvalhal’s team looked for, they had it in the final stretch with Zelson. The Portuguese maneuvered very nicely from the left, but failed to find the pass to Navarro, with his shot going wide in the 42nd minute.

Aris was forced to play more aggressively in the second half and shortly after the break, he had a chance with Moron. The Spanish forward found himself in a shooting position in the 46th minute, he shot with Doe countering him, conceding the corner.

The game is over in the longer period of the second part on the “wants” of Carvalial and Piraeus, with the home team showing that they did not have the ideas, the solutions (bases and the current state of their footballers) and the reserves to enter the gulf again for a positive result.

THE Olympic had some incomplete efforts, with Kinney filling in on 55′ for Navarro, who he was late and moved away from the area. In the 61st minute, the excellent individual effort of Alexandropoulos went astray, as he did not find a teammate with his spin.

Despite the changes Aris was not able to change his image particularly, with Olympiakos flirting with 3-0 in the 80th minute, from the sweet spot of Karvalios, who sent the ball just wide. Interest reignited in stoppage time, with the “yellows” reducing it to 2-1 with a Kinney own goal after Zamora’s conversion, but nothing changed until the finale.

The film of the match via sport-fm.gr

MVP: Navarro may be taking the spotlight with his goal to make it 1-0 and the penalty he won for the 2nd goal, but by far the best player for Olympiakos and the match was Rodney. He plowed down the right side in the first half, in which the match was played, troubling Ferrari and Panagidis, with most of the “red and white” phases starting from his own feet.

Whistle: The penalty given by the Dane Morten against Fabiano in the 19th minute shows the severity. The stopper of Aris goes awkwardly in the phase, putting his elbow, but the suggestion seems excessive. Aris asks for a penalty in favor of Zamora in the 87th minute, but this was not confirmed by the replay.
