Within a few hours, Olympiacos celebrated another great success. This time thanks to the Youth U19 team who beat Nantes on penalties in the semi-final of the UEFA Youth League and go to the final of the competition!
The “babies” of Olympiakos made history again today in the context of the UEFA Youth League. After the big step they had taken by reaching the Final 4, today they made another qualification jump and… they left for the final of the event that will be held on Monday, in Nyon, Switzerland.
They played on the same pitch today and beat Nantes 3-1 on penalties, as the score was 0-0 in normal time. Bakuras, H. Kostoulas and Liatsikouras took the well-placed penalties for the red and whites, while Sina saved one of the three missed penalties by the French.
The penalty shootout procedure in detail:
0-0 Le Tu, out
0-0 Mouzakitis, Mambon saved
0-0 Akapadieh, Sina saved
1-0 Bakulas
1-1 Toure
2-1 X. Kostoulas
2-1 Lerou, crossbar
3-1 Liatsikouras
It should be noted that in the delays of the first half, the “red and whites” scored with H. Kostoula, but the goal was canceled after the VAR indicated a handball.
