February 15, 2023

Olympiacos’ winning streak in the Greek League has come to an end.

The “Red Whites” are still unbeaten, but they no longer have a perfect record. Vouliagmeni and Olympiacos shared the points in the big Greek derby – 10:10 played in the 18th round of the national championships. The distance in the standings remains the same. Two points separate leader Olympiacos and 2nd-placed Vouliagmeni, which also didn’t suffer a loss in the 2023 Greek League, but it won only a point in the match with Apollon at the end of the first phase of the regular season.

Almost all games of the group for the title were thrilling.

2022/23 Greek League, Day 18 (Day 4 of 2nd phase)

The duel in Vouliagmeni’s outdoor pool was the third encounter between the best Greek clubs this season. The series was opened by a clash in the Champions League- Olympiacos posted a convincing 14:6 win. The match in the semifinals of the Greek Cup, played in Patras, was an equal battle in the first half, but Olympiacos celebrated a convincing win in the end (12:7).

Therefore, many believed that Vouliagmeni couldn’t stop Olympiacos this season. However, the players, coached by Vladimir Vujasinovic, proved their quality in a very close contest. The score was tied eight times during the match.
Olympiacos opened the scoring – Papanastasiou made it 1:0 in the third minute. Vouliagmeni replied with three goals in less than three minutes and took a 3:1 advantage. Olympiacos leveled before the first break (3:3). The second quarter started in the same way as the first period. Olympiacos scored the first goal and went in front for the last time in 4:3. After the visitors’ 3:0 series, Vouliagmeni regained a lead (5:4). The visitors equalized twice (5:5 and 6:6), but they had no response after Kapotsis netted for 7:6 in the 15th minute.

After 13 goals in the first half, both teams tightened their defenses. There were no goals until the 21st minute when Troulos converted a man-up to double Vouliagmeni’s advantage – 8:6. After just 26 seconds of the play in the fourth quarter, Olympiacos leveled at 8:8 (Fountoulis). In the remaining time, Vouliagmeni went in front twice (9:8 and 10:9), but Olympiacos leveled on both occasions. Konstantinos Genidounias closed the match with his third goal – he converted a man-up in the 30th minute and set the final score – 10:10.

The visitors dictated the pace for more than two quarters of the encounter between Peristeri and Panathinaikos. Panathinaikos led 4:0 in the 2nd quarter and 7:3 at the beginning of the third. But, Peristeri produced a big comeback and won all three points. Deep into the fourth period, the hosts leveled for the first time – 9:9. They didn’t stop there. A minute and a half, Christos Bitsakos scored a winner – Panionios recorded a 10:9 victory.

Something similar happened in Thessaloniki. The home team collected three points thanks to a late comeback. Panionios had a 6:5 at halftime of the match against PAOK. The visitors had a 9:7 advantage after the end of the third quarter and maintained a 2-goal difference until 11:9. But, PAOK’s Nikola Milradovic scored the last three goals in the game and the hosts took all three points – 12:11.

Apollon was the only team in  Group G1 that recorded a comfortable victory on Matchday 18. Apollon easily beat Ethnikos and returned to 3rd place ahead of Panionios.
