Despite the new extended rotation by Jose Luis Mendiliber and the absence of the organized from the horseshoe as a sign of protest against the arrests of their leaders, the Olympic he did the job without much effort. With Alexandros Paschalakis returning to the 11 and a 4-3-3 formation, the “red and whites” prevailed 4-1 against Lamia, with the match essentially decided in three minutes, from 24′ to 27′. Then Tsiquinho opened the scoring with his first goal in Greece, while Navarro made it 2-0 with a shot from outside the area. Until then, the efforts of Vezo (12′), Masoura (21′) either found Koselev on the other side, or ended up out. The same happened after the first two goals, with Podense being the main exponent of the opportunities. What the Portuguese winger failed to do in the first 45 minutes, he did in the 52nd minute when he slotted past Koselef to make it 3-0, after a vertical shot by Vezo.
Lamia started to show after the 3rd goal. Leonidas Vokolos’ changes also helped. In the 61st minute, Paschalakis saved Tsiloulis’ shot, but three minutes later, Tosic beat the international keeper to make it 3-1. The scorer, in fact, threatened in the 69th minute, but Paschalakis had an answer with a double effort.
The final score was created in the 93′ by Alexandropoulos with a shot, after a nice combination of El Arabi – El Kaabi that neutralized Koselef.
