Defiant Greeks hold off Liverpool

Olympiacos 1 Liverpool 0

The hosts finished in deep defence, down to 10 men and defiantly withstanding a late, dramatic surge by Liverpool. But it would have been harsh had the Greeks not secured only their second-ever European victory over an English side - the first coming 31 years ago.

Liverpool were a bitter disappointment, lacking passion and fire, and reliant on deep defence with the aim to hit on the break. Olympiacos deserved the win which Ieroklis Stoltidis’s goal gave them.
