The plugin did not change. Olympiacos were still on top of their rival, they made offensive changes that little by little pushed them to the draw. After 66 minutes of play, El-Arabi received a cross from Fortounis, who turned around, hit him with his left foot and hit the net, but on the outside. With 20 minutes to go, Nuno took out Traoré and Podence, leaving Raúl as the only attacker, this complicated things for the Mexican.
