The Thessaloniki team was coming off a two-game winning streak in the process but saw its streak come to an end on the third day of the playoffs and left Faliro with a comprehensive loss.
The game started perfectly for the “red and whites”, who found the goal in their first final. It was in the 6th minute when Fortounis with a precise cross from the right allowed El Kaabi to find the net for the 16th time in this year’s league and open the scoring in “G. Karaiskakis”.
With an early 1-0 lead, the home team controlled the match, missing other opportunities to score a second goal, culminating in El Kaabi’s carelessness in the 41st minute, when, executing the penalty he won from Brambetz in the 39th minute, he tried to he scores a la Panenka but Cuesta was not fooled, he stayed upright and saw the ball end up in his arms!
In between, a header by Karmos who jumped all alone in a corner kick went out, in the 31′ Ese’s place on a turn by Fortounis countered and went out for a corner, while for their part the visitors had a unique moment that was in the 2nd minute, with a missed shot of Odubajo.
With the match pattern not differing in the second half, Olympiacos threatened in the 54th minute with Jovetic (saved by Cuesta) and doubled the lead on the hour mark thanks to Podense’s curling shot from outside the area.
Ten minutes later the virtuoso Portuguese winger pounced and picked up a yellow card to complete the limit and serve his penalty in the next game, against Lamia.
With the rest of the game already procedural in nature, Carvalho put the icing on the cake in the 89th minute, taking advantage of Richards’ left-footed cross from close range.
