Greek Football Cup: Olympiakos defeat Panathinaikos
Posted by evdomada on January 18, 2008
The Greek Superleague giants drew on the weekend for their premiership match but the Cup match was a totally different story. Olympiakos showed a completely attitude and managed an easy 4-0 defeat of their Athenian rivals and have made the final 8 of the Greek Cup.
Olympiakos completely dominated the game that was aided by a very lacklustre performance from Panathinaikos who made too many costly mistakes.
Lua-Lua’s goal in the 6th minute was a brilliant strike that gave Olympiakos the lead and it wasn’t until the second half when a poor save gave Torosidis a chance to put his name against a very ordinary goal. The third goal for Olympiakos was also a from a poor defensive error that provided Kovacevic an easy goal. The fourth goal for Olympiakos was sheer class with Nunez displaying impressive aerial skills to score a beautiful volley.
A great result for Olympiakos and hopefully a jolt to their confidence for the Superleague and most of all the anticipated Champions League match against Chelsea.
