Olympiacos-Paphos ended with a 0-0 draw at the “Georgios Karaiskakis” on Wednesday night for the 1st matchday of the League Phase of the Champions League.
The Cypriot champions played for almost 70 minutes with ten players, after Bruno was sent off in the 26th minute with a second yellow card. Nevertheless, they managed to keep the 0-0 draw and get their first point in the competition.
The Piraeus outfit were able to create some threatening chances, with captain Panagiotis Retsos unleashing a corner header in the 69th minute that forced a reflex save out of Neofytos Michael.
Michael came up again with a solid save from a Mehdi Taremi header in the 89th minute, with the Pafos defence popping up with crucial blocks on numerous occasions to keep the game at 0-0.
Olympiacos will view it as a disappointing start to their European campaign, particularly since they had an extra man advantage for over an hour of the contest.
For Pafos, it represents a well-earned point they will no doubt be proud to have earned especially under the circumstances.
