The “reds” showed their winning spirit and the fans their support as it was with their cheers throughout the game that the team achieved this victory. The visitors netted a goal with Marcelinho in 14 minutes and surprised the home team who, however, had a little more to say in the matter. With passion, persistence, will, effort and … two headers, Olympiacos with Pantelic equalized the game at 86 minutes and reached the victory with Djebbour in the extra time (90’+4′) during an opportunity created and executed by practically the entire team.
During his exit from the stadium, OLYMPIACOS FC President, Mr. Evangelos Marinakis, stated the following: “It was a victory of the crowd and of the spirit of Olympiacos; that is to say a victory of our players.”
