Thursday was interesting not only for the fans of the Czech teams. In the Europa League, three matches went into extra time and two of them went to penalty kicks.
We’ll take a look at the clash between Olympiakos and Apollon Limassol. The Greek-Cypriot derby was eventually won by the more famous team, with Tomas Vaclik as the central figure.
The match ended 1-1 in normal time when the Cypriots equalised in the 90th minute. However, the Czech national goalkeeper was already on a rampage in penalty kicks.
He defused Charalampos Kyriakou’s first penalty, then Hervin Ongenda’s third and El-Hadji Bao’s fourth. That meant only one thing, Olympiakos could celebrate.
The players ran at Vaclik and the fans are very grateful to him. For unlike Apollon, who were relegated to the European Conference League, they will play in the more prestigious Europa League.
As far as the coefficient is concerned, Olympiakos is already the only Greek team in the game. Romania, ranked 25th, has more teams and can be expected to move up.
