THE Olympic lost a second time to Marseille In the Champions League Polo ‘8’ phase, with the effort of the ‘reds’ to move on to Malta’s Final Four difficulty.
Olympiacos, with this defeat, remained in the 3rd place in the first group, with three points after a number of races, with Marseille on his part.
In a game with many powerful duels, the two teams were in line with the middle of the second period, with the French gradually heading to the scoring.
Olympiacos, who was lined up without the injured Papanastasiou and had no help from his basic aggressive trumps (Genidounia, Fountoulis and Zalaki), reduced with Bouslier, but missed opportunities to reach the goal. Zerdevas fired a penalty shootout, but Vernu re-raised the difference and Tesanovic fired a strikingly close shot by Kakari to a player above, at the final of the third period (9-6).
At the beginning of the last eighty, Prlainovic raised the difference to +4 and the French team controlled the rest of the match against an Olympian who found no way to react. Indeed, the final difference is another obstacle that the “reds” may need to overcome in the event of a tie.
The champions of Greece will now have to win the Yadran Split group in Piraeus (2/4) in order to maintain hopes of qualifying in the Final Four.
