The game’s sole goal was netter by Grosskreutz in the 7th minute.
At 43 minutes, a corner taken by Holebas and the header by Mellberg that followed created a real goalscoring opportunity for the visiting team but Hummels’s hand intervened and changed the ball’s course. Russian referee Vladislav Bezborodov denied Olympiacos the penalty, thus depriving them of the opportunity to equalize the match.
The team must now focus on the very important Superleague game against Aris coming up this Saturday. As for the Champions League, it is only natural that Olympiacos will try their best in the two remaining games against Marseille in France and Arsenal in Piraeus.
