THE Olympic had a comfortable afternoon against the Bullet and took the victory in “Karaiskakis” (3-0). El Kaabi, Kostoulas and Zelson Martins the goals of the new “three point” in Super League. The team of Bratsou is without a final at home!
Olympiacos prevailed at the home of Volos with 3-0, achieved his 5th straight win in Super League and 9th overall and – as leader of the scoreboard – reached 30 points, with more matches than its competitors. The Magnesia team remained at 14 points and close to the danger zone.
Apart from short intervals, in which Volos tried to show an offensive “pulse” – but did not have a single attempt in the opposing frames – Olympiacos was the one in control of the match in the first half. The match started well for the red and whites, since they opened the scoring in the 3rd minute. After nice player cooperation of MediliberCostinia made the turn and the usual suspect El Kaabi headed the ball into the net for 1-0 and his 11th league goal!
The match went at the pace of the hosts, who reached a second goal before the first 45 minutes. Olympiacos doubles its goals at 41′with Babis Kostoula kissing his team’s badge, for his first goal in “Karaiskakis” with the Mendiliber team. Willian fed the 17-year-old just outside the area, he changed his foot, brought it from the right to the left and “executed” for 2-0.
Olympiacos had the upper hand in the replay as well. In the 59th minute, Piraeus’ goal was decided by OUR and ruled out for offside. Willian filled in the area, El Kaabi took the header, the goalkeeper of Volos saved, Costinia – from an irregular position – entered the phase and was knocked over by Correa, in his attempt to take the rebound. However, the phase was controlled and the penalty initially given by the referee Fotias was cancelled.
But in the 65th minute OUR changed the score, overturning the referee’s decision on Gelson Martins and making it 3-0, seconds after entering the match and making his first contact with the ball (Retsu’s first league assist).
The two teams made several changes afterwards, with the match losing a bit of its rhythm. In the 79th minute, the visitors called for a penalty, asking Biancon to overturn Tahatos, but the referee and the OUR they didn’t give anything. The score did not change until the final whistle.
