Aris and Olympiacos meet in the quarterfinals of the Greek Cup.
END THE MATCH. Aris 0- Olympiacos 1- The Olympiacos goalkeeper was the great hero, James played half an hour and the advantage was maintained to qualify for the Greek Cup
Minute 88- Goooolll for Olympiacos!!! El-Arabi punishes the series, takes a deep pass and defines only before the goalkeeper. Game 1-0, series 2-0, almost finished… but beware that the hero is still the goalkeeper Tsolakis
Minute 84- Shortcut! Goalkeeper Tsolakis saved Gray’s powerful shot and also reacted on the rebound. All yours the classification in the Cup if it is confirmed at the end
Minute 81- Olympiacos got complicated: the referee called a penalty for Aris for failing in the Ntoi area, it seemed like a struggle but the decision was upheld after consulting VAR
Minute 72- James’ attempt that was deflected in time for the corner kick, and a 10-pointer that Biel couldn’t guide better with his head
Minute 71- Nice outing for James, a three-finger pass down the wing for El Arabi, another newcomer, who missed the option
Minute 64- Olympiacos is saved! Great assistance from García and the shot comes out just open
Minute 61- To the field James Rodríguez! Replaces Valbuena
Minutes 60- I scold Aris’s bench and yellow assistant for angry claims
Minute 59- New local attempt, shot by García that the goalkeeper controls safely
Minute 57- Aris loses it in a corner kick well cleared by the visiting defense
Minute 46- Free kick for Aris, again they are no danger
SECOND HALF IS PLAYED
FIRST TIME ENDS. ARIS 0- OLYMPIACOS 0. A couple of approaches, a single clear goal arrival, keeps Míchel’s team classified in the Greek Cup
Minute 45- The referee whistles at the end of the first half and the Aris players chase him because he did not let the corner kick be taken
Minute 44- Turn for Aris, who misses the goal due to lack of aim: he passes the ball kissing the stick
Minute 42- Amazing what Olympiacos is missing! Quick counter and Bakambu sends it out with the goalkeeper almost beaten
Minute 35- The party cries out for a talented man to break the tedium… a James
Minutes 30- Very tight match, with a lot of inaccuracy on both sides in the first half hour. Olympiacos shook off their dominance well but is not dangerously close, except on one occasion
Minute 22- A mess is created, with shoving for a foul without malicious intent. The referee conjures up the fight
Minute 19- Arias is saved: great mid-distance shot, from the front of Valbuena, who manages to swipe the goalkeeper
Minute 18- A clumsiness in the definition saves Olympiacos, which little by little is encouraged to attack
Minute 16- The ball belongs to Aris, but it shakes Olympiacos for the first time with a deflected header
Minute 6- They demand a penalty, a controversial move in the Olympiacos area but the judge does not grant it. Aris presses and goes out to equalize the series
