Nobody could get near Giorgos Masouras
Successful dribbles: 46. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Olympiacos out of the cup
Panetolikos ended it 1‑1. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Klidman Lilo: 1 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

A row about effort at Olympiacos
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Remo Freuler was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Roman Yaremchuk was on a different afternoon to everybody else
8.06. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.
