On Thursday, March 7, Maccabi Tel Aviv unexpectedly defeated the Greek Olympiacos in the 1/8 finals of the Conference League with a score of 4:1. Thanks to this victory, the team from Israel can play in the quarterfinals of European competition for the first time in history.
Channel 12 writes about this.
At the very beginning of the match, Maccabi took over, scoring two goals at once. Eran Zahavi, after a pass from Milson, opened the scoring in the 4th minute. Ido Shahar then added a second goal in the 9th minute. Olympiacos player Ayouba El Kaabi reduced the gap to 1:2 in the 13th minute, taking advantage of a mistake by the Maccabi defense.
However, the “yellows” were not slow to respond. Milson shone again in the 30th minute, providing an assist for Zahavi. As a result, the Maccabi players went into the break with a comfortable score – 3:1. The second half began with strong pressure from Olympiacos, but Maccabi’s reliable defense coped with all challenges. In the 74th minute, Gabi Kanikowski made a great pass to Dor Peretz, who sealed Maccabi’s 4-1 victory.
Now, Maccabi Tel Aviv is preparing for the return match, which will take place in Serbia in a week. The Israeli team has a real chance to advance to the quarter finals. To do this, the team will need not to concede 4 goals in the upcoming game.
