In a display of true fighting spirit, passion and will, Olympiacos prevailed throughout the entire match and downed Rijeka 2-1; a scoreline that does not fully reflect our side’s performance in the match. The Legend produced some excellent football on the pitch, created a multitude of goal-scoring opportunities but the ball just… wouldn’t go in. So, everything comes down to the return match on coming Tuesday (22/8) in Croatia where the team will travel to secure its qualification to the UEFA Champions League group stage. Our side’s scorers were Ofoe (66’) and Romao (3rd minute of added time).
Olympiacos: Kapino, Elabdellaoui, Romao, Retsos, Koutris, Gillet, Odjidja (79′ Androutsos), Marin (75′ Pardo), Carcela, Seba (65′ Fortounis), Ben.
