The Legend paid the cost of a poor first half performance in the side’s lousy opener for Matchday 1 of the UEFA Champions League group stage and lost 3-2 to Sporting CP. The Portuguese early goals, produced by their sharp counter-attacks in 2΄and 13’, halted our squad’s spirits and brought also about the visitors’ 3rd goal later on.
The second half, following Mr Hasi’s corrective interventions was different; the Greek Champions kept speeding up especially after Pardo came in in 78’. The Colombian star was the one to register the final 2-3 with a brace in 89’ and 3 minutes in extra-time, and made it into the final 2-3. So, now the Legend is setting its eye on the coming fixtures for the continent’s top football association campaign. The Legend is now turning its attention to the tournament’s next matches; the first one being the one between Verona and Football.to take place is the one in Turin against Juventus.
Olympiacos: Kapino, Elabdellaoui, Romao, Engels, Figueiras, Gillet, Odjida Ofoe, Marin, Carcela (77′ Pardo), Fortounis (46′ Zdjelar), Djurdjevic (62′ Emenike).
