Olympiacos left the pitch at G.S.P. Nicossia with a 1-1 scoreline to Apollon Limassol in their first leg for the UEFA Europa League play off, ahead of the return match to be hosted in G. Karaiskakis stadium on the 25th. Greece’s defending champions will prove before their fans they can make it to the competition’s group stage. Again, the “red-and-whites” delivered better compared to their previous fixtures, whereas Inbeom Hwang made a positive debut as one of Carlos Corberan’s starting eleven.
Despite trailing back following Janga’s goal in 18’, Olympiacos managed to equalize in 29’ with Hwang after being set up by Reabciuk and then lost several chances to net the second.
Apollon (D. Catala): Jovanovic, Cabral, Peybernes, Roberge, Khammas, Cham. Kyriakou (60′ Ba), Coll, Felix (46′ Ongenda), Pittas, Janga (60′ Shahar), Diguiny (75′ Henty).
