After the first ten minutes, the game levelled out, with our opponents repeatedly getting in front of our goal, but their attempts were blocked by our defence.In the 34th minute, Zachariassen won a ball in midfield and shot from the penalty area, but missed the target. Three minutes later, Kodro tried to cross Paskalakis from the halfway line, but the Olympiacos goalkeeper got back to his goal.

In the 75th minute, Barnabas Varga headed wide of the goal and Ben Romdhane was well set up but could not get on the end of the ball. In the 83rd minute, Jovetic stepped up and aimed for the far bottom corner but Dibusz saved to a corner.
