With a decisive 4-0 victory over Volos, Olympiacos best compensated for the approximately 15,000 fans that flooded Panthessalikos and their third straight win for the first time this season in the Super League (they led 5-0 over Asteras Tripolis and 2- 0 over Ionikos), was temporarily lowered to -7 by trailblazer Panathinaikos, who would later be tried out at the OPAP Arena against AEK, while again catching up with PAOK in the standings.

Pep Biel from a penalty in the 7th minute, Huang in the 22nd minute, Bacabou in the 45th minute and El Arabi in the 75th minute became Piraeus’ scorers, who showed good football in another match and confirmed their rising trajectory.

On the contrary, Volos’ negative streak was extended as the team from Magnesia ended 2 months without “three-pointers” (winning since November 10) with a count of 3 losses and 2 draws in the last five matches.

The Red-Whites tried to show their mood from the very beginning. Through the efforts of Kostas Fortounis, Alchos found the ball in the first minutes and after checking the VAR, it was established that there was a violation (hand), so the referee Papapetrou awarded a penalty. Pep Biel acted in cold blood and Olympiacos opened the scoring in the 7th minute.

Volos tried to react, and on 15 minutes Metaxas found himself in the penalty area, but the shot he took went over the crossbar of Paschalakis. And while the hosts were looking for ways to break the defense of Olympiacos, in the 22nd minute, Huang stole the ball from outside the penalty area and from the side position with a powerful left shot “nailed” the ball into Kleiman’s corner, making it 2 – 0 with the South Korean’s first goal in Super League.

The match actually ended in the 45th minute, when Bakabu was completely unnoticed in the center of Volos after an accurate cross from Reabchuk from the left and a header without any problems “wrote” the score 3:0.

Since the winner was already known, the match in the second half was open to both teams. Volos came very close to cutting the score in the 54th minute when Luna intercepted the ball from Biel, crossed Paschalakis, and while the home team were ready to celebrate, Doi cleared the ball before it crossed the line.

The “answer” from Olympiacos came in the 60th minute, when Biel-Rodini worked well together, and the Brazilian caught the ball and knocked Kleiman into the crossbar. Volos goalkeeper said no to Biel in the 68th minute, but he did not do the same in the 75th minute when El-Araby formed the final four minutes after entering the field with a shot from outside the box. 0.
