Olympiacos failed to leave Peristeri victorious and suffered a 1-0 defeat as a result of a first-half Atromitos goal.
At the point when Atromitos was controlling proceedings of the match, the home side took the lead courtesy of Karamanos. Olympiacos granted its opponent with too much space and consequently fell behind in 30’.
The second half started with Olympiacos keeping the same line-up and philosophy.
Olympiacos had a hard time trying to break their defensive wall. Possession belonged overwhelmingly to our side, but had no tangible results.
Atromitos XI were stationed around Cennamo’s box, with Olympiacos ten players keeping close to the goalmouth. However, that was not enough to produce an equalizer and thus a minimum of one point to Olympiacos.
So, now focus turns to Sweden, where Olympiacos is called to put on a great display in few days against Malmö, leaving behind its performance in Peristeri.
OLYMPIACOS (Michel): Roberto, Elabdellaoui, Masuaku, Abidal, Botia, Milivojevic, Maniatis (82’ Fortounis), Kasami (70’ Benitez), Dominguez (60’ Durmaz), Afellay, Mitroglou.
