“Red and white” walk in Metz for Olympiakos! His team Lorenzo Micelliturned her derby into a party 3rd matchday with Panathinaikos prevailing 3-0 set of the poor Panathinaikos and got the upper hand with the “good morning” for the home advantage in view of the playoffs!
Sweeping game from the “red and white” who touched it 50% on successful attacks, as opposed to his total Dragan Nesic which never adjusted to match conditions resulting in him losing the derby hands down.
Top for Olympiakos Nizetich and Koomburanodal n Gina Lambrousiwith great defenses and “medicinal” serves. Papafotiou and Samandan the only ones that were saved from the “wreck” of Panathinaikos!
This is how the Piraeus team did it 3/3 in the league, leaving behind Panathinaikos who experienced their first defeat for this year and continues to worry after the poor performance at the home of Milos, despite the victory.
The start of the match found Olympiacos a little more numb, resulting in Panathinaikos getting a small “head” in the score (7-5). Despite the fact that Constantinou and Hatziefstratiadou entered the equation, Olympiacos found the antidote and at the most critical point of the match was in front of the score (20-18) and in the end took the set with Koumboura and Abderrahim as protagonists.
Unlike the first, the image of Olympiakos in the second set was impressive, as the “red and white” went with… good evening at +6 (0-6). The hosts showed a nervousness that was not a good advisor in view of the continuation and the set went fatally to Olympiakos with 25-14.
Same picture in the third set with Olympiakos coming in determined to finish the derby and expose the “eternal” opponent at all levels. Lorenzo Micelli’s team pulled away early, with Lambrousi being decisive, especially when going on serve and the match ended at 3-0 sets after Olympiacos made it 25-15.
