		The veterans of Olympiakos did their jobs as usual, but it was young Misan Nikagbatse who saved the day after AEK rebounded to take a late three-point lead.
		Olympiakos kept pushing all the right buttons throughout the first quarter until it hit a maximum lead of 16 points, 31-15, at the conclusion of what were 10 long minutes for AEK.
		Olympiakos could not stop the momentum of AEK, which finally tied the game on a three-pointer by Hatzis, and then took its first lead, 40-41 on a buzzer beater by Holden.

	ESPN.com Soccernet Europe: Full-time Report - Olympiakos v Liverpool
		Olympiakos only narrowly failed to reach this season's second phase, hence their appearance in this Uefa Cup third-round match, and they were expecting to march into the last 16.
		Liverpool had barely got close to Olympiakos' area but stunned their hosts with a fine poached goal on 38 minutes as Heskey's flick on from Carragher's throw was powered into the net by Barmby with a fine volley.
		Olympiakos, however, came surging back and Babbel was booked for a foul on Djordjevic as the pressure mounted, not least on Dutch referee Rene Temmink.

		Olympiakos are nicknamed 'Thrylos', translated as Legend, after this classic side of the 1930s which won a hatful of titles.

	sport.iafrica.com \| today's news Olympiakos almost through
		Olympiakos captain Predrag Djordjevic came up with the only goal against Deportivo La Coruna to leave the Greeks on the brink of qualifying for the Champions league knock-out stage for only the second time in their history.
		And failure to break down the Olympiakos defence left their dubious record of not having scored a goal in any one of their five Champions league games intact — and their European adventure over for this season.
		Olympiakos have proved hard to break down at their Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium, Dusan Bajevic's side having already seen off Liverpool and Monaco but they were heading for their fourth consecutive draw against the visitors until Djordjevic did his work.

		Olympiakos had gone into the game in disarray anyway having sacked their coach since the 4-0 mauling at Old Trafford and seen their own league campaign suspended following the collapse of the domestic television rights-holders.
		That ironically provided Olympiakos with the impetus to at least make a game of it, skipper Predrag Djordjevic and Par Zetterberg both going close before Venetidis wasted a good chance by rushing a first-time shot over from 15 yards after a loose ball had rolled neatly into his path.
		It should really have been the end for Olympiakos, whose heads were hanging at the enormity of the task they faced.

		Olympiakos coach Dusan Bajevic felt his side were robbed of a second goal two minutes from time when Ioannas Okkas' effort was judged not to have entirely crossed the line.
		The goal quickened Olympiakos' step, and it was they and not Monaco who began to look the stronger side.
		With Monaco on the back foot, Olympiakos peppered Roma's goal in the final ten minutes, and they collectively had their heads in their hands when a frantic goalmouth scramble in the 88th minute left Okkas a close range header which hit Pontus Farnerud on the chest right on the goal line.

		Looking ahead to Thursday night’s UEFA Cup clash between Olympiakos and English Premier League club Newcastle United, a first-leg encounter in Athens for a quarterfinal place, it is worth noting that the two clubs have previously never met in the competition.
		Olympiakos knocked out French club Sochaux in the third round, but if the Piraeus team is to get past Newcastle United, it will need to defy a bad record against English clubs.
		Olympiakos has proved a strong side at home in European club-level competition this season, winning all four of its encounters in the Champions League and UEFA Cup.

		The coaching job of Dusan Bajevic, without a doubt the most successful in Greek soccer, with numerous titles at both at AEK and Olympiakos, could apparently be on the line, a crucial test being this Thursday night’s UEFA Cup third-round, return leg against Sochaux in France.
		Several names as possible coaching replacements have already been tossed around unofficially, one of them being former club player Nikos Anastopoulos, who, last season, promoted Corfu club Kerkyra to the first division for the first time in its history, but who was swiftly sacked after it failed to stand firmly in the top league.
		Not long before this latest outbreak of discontent at Olympiakos, Kokkalis needed to intervene to restore calm after star Brazilian striker Rivaldo, a lucrative signing who has completed only a quarter of his two-year contract worth 1.8 million euros per annum, reacted strongly after being substituted by Bajevic.
