Olympiacos defeats Vouliagmeni in rollercoaster for 37th title of Greek champion

Olympiacos retained the crown in Greece. The Red Whites beat Vouliagmeni in the third match of the final of the Greek Championships 11:7 and lifted their 11th consecutive and 37th  trophy of national champion in total.

Even though four goals separated the rivals at the end of the game, it was a really “crazy” encounter. Vouliagmeni dominated in the first quarter and took a 4:0 lead. But, Olympiacos managed to come back into the match and record the victory, thanks to a 6:0 run in the second quarter.

2022/23 Greek League, playoffs, final (best of five), Match 3

Olympiacos – Vouliagmeni 11;7 (0:4, 4:1, 4:0, 3:2) – the score in the series 3:0

Olympiacos:Zerdevas, Vamos 2, Dimos 1, Genidounias 2, Fountoulis, Gouvis, Dervisis 1, Buslje, Mourikis 1, Grammatikos, Papanastasiou 3, Damigos, Gkillas 1, Liantziris. Head coach: Milanovic.

Vouliagmeni: Tzortzatos, Chalivopoulos, Kastrinakis, Kalogeropoulos 2, Troulos, Nikolaidis, Papasifakis 2, Woodhead 1, Alafragis 1, Kapotsis, Kourouvanis 1, Farmer, Andreadis, Almyras, Konstantopoulos.

As the result shows, Vouliagmeni took a flying start. The visitors rushed to a 3:0 in the first five minutes with three action goals. Kalogeropoulos closed the first period with a goal from a penalty to give Vouliagmeni a 4:0 lead.

The hosts regrouped themselves during the middle break and responded in the same way – with four goals in a row in the second quarter.

Genidounias netted two with a man-up, and Dervisis added one, also from an extra player. Alexandros Papanastasiou leveled the score at 4:4 from a counter-attack just 48 seconds before the end of the first half. Vouliagmeni got a man-up in its last possession in the first half. Dylan Woodhead found the net 12 seconds before the middle break to give Vouliagmeni a slim 5:4 lead before the second half of the match.

The third quarter was crucial for the outcome. Marton Vamos leveled at 5:5 in the 17th minute. Three and a half minutes after, Gkillas put Olympiacos in front for the first time. By the end of the quarter the hosts scored two goals (Vamos and Papanastasiou) for a solid 8:5 advantage before the final eight minutes.

Olympiacos continued its domination in the fourth quarter and went to 10:5 with two goals in the first two minutes of the final quarter (Mourikis and Papanastasiou). Vouliagmeni didn’t recover from a shocking 0:6 series.

Olympiacos is now just one title away from the record-holder Ethnikos.

All champions – 38 titles: Ethnikos, 37: Olympiacos, 8: Patras, 4: Aris, 4: Glyfada, 4:Vouliagmeni, 1: Peiraikos 1.
