Olympiacos defended their first-leg advantage from the match against Athens Kallithea at Leoforos, where they had won 0–1. With the 1–1 draw at “G. Karaiskakis,” they advanced to the quarterfinals of the Greek Cup. The “red-and-whites” were particularly unlucky, especially in the first half, where they hit the goalpost a total of four times! In the next phase, the Piraeus team will face the winner of the Panathinaikos vs. Atromitos match.
The visitors opened the scoring early, with Manthatis making it 0–1 in just the 3rd minute. Olympiacos equalized in the 24th minute with a goal from Velde, bringing the score to 1–1.
