Olympiacos – Mars 2-1: The great Babis Kostoulas scored two goals and “restored” the Pirates

The “celebrated” in an ideal way the renewal of his contract to . Lauren Moron put Mars in front of the score, but the 17-year-old Greek striker entered the replay and with two goals gave the victory to the Piraeus (2-1), which keeps them at the top of the scoreboard in the Super League. Before even starting the race in Karaiskakis, Mars was called upon to face a race problem. Mayo felt a problem in his leg during warming and his position in the eleventh of the Thessalonians Montoya will take. Upon the start of the race, the guests received great pressure on their frames. Olympiacos entered with… wear and tried to reach a goal quickly, with El Kaabi, Martins, Velde and Chikinio playing “game” ahead. CORVERSE Mars tried to balance the game and in the 10′ “scream” for a penalty, in a branding of Ronriney to Darida, with the referee and VAR giving nothing. Three minutes later, Marinos Uzoudis saw Diadi facing injury problem and making a change with Saverio. Mars tried to attack with deep balls towards Moron, with Jollakis making the necessary exits and catching up with danger. Olympiacos saw Martins pull him with individual efforts. In 21′ and after passing whoever found in front of him, he shot, but the ball passed for a while out. Four minutes later, Olympiacos arrived one… Breathe from the goal. From a turn of Ortega on the left, Questa kicked out Chikinio’s screening, El Caabi took the “ribound” but he can’t anywhere near score, after Brabbets put the fight against him. The ball barely passed by Mars’ right beam. CORVERSE In 30′ it was Olympiacos’ turn to shout for a penalty, with the referee and VAR not giving anything to the marking that Ortega accepted. Mars seemed to resist the pressure of the hosts and to 36′ reached 0-1. Moron “vacated” Garthia with fine dribbles and caught unlikely “dry” shots outside the area, “executing” Jolakis. The Pirates asked for a foul at the beginning of the phase, to steal the scorer at Baincon, but the VAR counted 10 this year’s Spanish finish in the Super League. Olympiacos tried to go to the locker room, having reached the balance but failed. In 42′, Cuesta performed a shocking operation – with his right leg – by winning a four-a-tets with Zelton Martins. KLODIAN LATO / EUROKINISSI The second half began with Medilibar putting in the Kostoula and Musakitis match in the positions of Velde and Garcia and with a new problem for Mars. Saverio was injured, trying to mark Ortega and was replaced by Fetfatzidis in 48′′. Two minutes later, Olympiacos brought the match straight. Kostoulas – who entered the match with the start of 45 minutes – took advantage of confusion in Mars’ defense, stole the ball from Friedek and with an excellent finish under Cuesta’s feet – from a position right inside the opposing area – tied to 1-1. PHOTO ANTONIS NIKOLOPOULOS / EUROKINISSI Mars’ first phase in the second half came at 60′, with Suleimanov’s shot from the boundaries of the large area sending the ball -low- beside Jolaki’s right beam. As the minutes went by, Olympiacos raised his pressure on Cuesta’s frames, with the Thessalonians – but they – holding out. In 73′ the figures of the race changed. Motoya fouled Kostula hard, saw the yellow card for the second time and left Mars with ten players. Medilibar made other changes (Costinia instead of Ese) with the newly introduced scoring seconds after (78′) with a close header and his finish being cancelled for offside. With his pressure, Olympiacos won several fouls and corner. Mars was in a difficult position several times, while Uzoudis saw Cuesta and Brabets facing “themes” (85′), falling into the playing field, but squeezing the teeth. On the other hand, Medilibar threw his last “paper”, putting Yarebchuk in the game. In 88′ we had the phase that picked up onfield review from the referee. Biancon centrare from the right and in the “heart” of the opposing defense, Mars’s dots went up to Yaremchuk and the unmarked El Kaabi – who was behind them – “executed” from close to Cuesta for the overthrow. The referee showed a pitch, but was invited to see the phase in an onfield review and decided to cancel the finish, for Yarebchuk’s offensive foul to Brabets. The game was in its delays. At 90+5′ Kostoulas “cleaned” the game for Olympiacos. After Biancon’s pitch, the young quarterback made the final 2-1, with a header – fish!
