ARABI-RANZELOVICAS OPPORTUNITIES AND THE SEMEDO CLASS

Martins started Olympiakos with Embilas starting in a 4-3-3 formation. Kamara had the classic role of playing later and pushing higher. He tried to work with Randzelovic from the right, while shooting outside the area with which they had no luck. Omonia Leιαks’ Czech left-back became … a shadow of the Serbian right-back, who nevertheless had the great opportunity in the 19th minute, when he fired from a shooting position. In a bad first half, the guests had another great opportunity, Arabi’s shot in minute 5 that was blocked by Fabiano. The Cypriot side did not seem to have the quality and ability to cause serious problems in Olympiacos defense, although of course in the 33rd minute Semedo made a crucial shot before Boteak executed. It was preceded by a miscalculation from Ba by a cross from Boteak.

Martins’ team was the one that set the pace for the game. Rafinia climbed slightly to the right, more Cholebas to the left. Olympiakos protested a penalty in the 6th minute for holding Hubochan in Arabi, but Spanish referee Laoth whistled a bit and let the game unfold. The six corners won by the hosts in the 45th minute remained unexploited, Sa did not care at all and the whistle at the end of the 45th minute found Olympiakos with 55% possession, highlighting the terrible dribbling of Valbouena on the Lufther . inglorious after the wrong pass from Embila, who was generally positive, with good attitudes.

FABIANO KEPT ZERO

Both teams continued into the second half unchanged and Omonia’s first chance for a good moment was lost in the 48th minute, with Bojak’s free-kick that went just over the bar. Olympiacos continued to have full possession and control of the game. Bouchalakis changed the field beautifully, Kamara continued to run across the lengths and widths of the field and in the 61st minute he saw Fabiano chase after the impressive shot he attempted from a corner. The Brazilian goalkeeper of Omonia was once again, as in Faliro, the best player on his team. In 62, Cholebas’s shot stopped, in 65, Ranjelovic’s place, in 78, Valbouena’s foul, in 82, Arabi’s shot and the culmination, Masoura’s place in 82. Amazing. ..

Clover coach Henning Berg made two changes in the 70s to give his team aggressive encouragement, but to no avail. The guests had no problems and in fact Semedo, who made a starring appearance, “cleaned” the home team phase with a heel! Even in the final five minutes, Fabiano continued to show why he was the best player on the field, when he sent Embila’s shot in a corner on 87 ‘. Olympiakos finished the match with 29 finals, but the 0-0 remained until the end. Qualification for the Champions League groups was assured for a second season.
