Olympiacos CFP lost to Xanthi by 2 – 1, in a game for the Hellenic Football Championship’s Division A, match day 3. The reds had taken the lead by 1 - 0 at the 18th minute with a loft by Georgiadis but were forced to defeat and left Xanthi not adding any points to their total. At the 49th minute, Zapropoulos scored, although he… never did! Xanthi’s player headed the ball and Nikopolidis saved on the goal line. However, the referee assistant (Blathros), as well as the referee (Briakos) said they “saw” a goal. The game was equalized, 1-1. At the 72nd minute, Labriakos lofted the ball and scored (2 – 1), although this time, he was of side.

Even so, Olympiacos CFP could have won, as immediately after Xanthi’s equalizer (1 – 1) Okkas headed the ball that hit the cross bar.
