Olympiacos took the qualification lead, although their step towards the semi-finals could be even more stable.
The “red and white” won 3-2 against Fenerbahce in the first meeting between them in the quarter-finals of the Conference League.
Fortounis with a shot from outside the area sent the ball into the net in the 8th minute, while in the 32nd minute it was Jovetic’s turn to score. In the 57th minute, Ciquinio gave the red and whites an even bigger lead. Tadis reduced the score in the 68th minute with a penalty kick, while the Turks got in for good with Kahvetsi’s goal in the 74th minute.
The game was intense until the end. Mendilibar passed Horta and Ibora on the field, in order for his team to regain control. In the 84th minute, Szymanski took a header from inside the area, but it was off target. In stoppage time, Bonucci sent Karaiskakis into a heartbeat, but the Olympiakos defense was there.
The rematch is scheduled for next Thursday (22.00) in Soukrou Saratsoglou. We remind you that the pair of Olympiacos – Fenerbahce intersects with that of Aston Villa and Lille.
