ıdeye downs dinamo as olympiacos win again published: tuesday 20 october 2015, 22.35cet dinamo zagreb 0-1 olympiacos ıdeye brown scored from an almost impossible angle as the greek champions built on their arsenal win with another away victory. by vjekoslav paun from stadion maksimir
olympiacos build on win at arsenal with victory in zagreb the greek champions lost all three away games in their last group campaign the last time olympiacos beat dinamo, in 1998, they reached the quarter-finals ıdeye brown on target for the third successive match the teams play again at stadio georgios karaiskakis on 4 november
olympiacos took the points at dinamo zagreb that many predicted following their triumph at arsenal, but victory was hard-fought in croatia.
the home side were twice denied by the frame of the goal and ultimately ıdeye brown was the difference between the uefa champions league group f rivals. with 11 minutes remaining he cut in from the left and somehow squeezed the ball between eduardo and the post from a seemingly impossible angle.
yet it had been dinamo that had made the early running, with their supporters' chant "we want another win" as uplifting as it was unsubtle. el arbi hilal soudani came close to going some way to meet their demands but could not quite connect with a cross and slowly the visitors came into it.
the greek champions, ever watchful, began to commit men forward but were almost stung at the other end early in the second half as domagoj antolic punched a hole in their defence and rattled the upright. olympiacos hit right back on the break with ıdeye, sliding in at the far post, not able to turn the ball in.
ıt was a similar story later in the half as, moments after a golden chance for marko rog that came back off the woodwork, ıdeye found the net.
key player: ıdeye brown
reaction: zoran mamic, dinamo zagreb coach ı am very happy with how my team played in all aspects of the game. but, of course, ı am disappointed that we lost. we didn't have any luck, we hit the woodwork twice and more good besides but we didn't score. the matches against arsenal and olympiacos showed that we are on the right track. we just need to be patient and then the results will come.
marco silva, olympiacos coach ı said before the match that it would be very difficult for us and that we are not the clear favourites like most people thought. we tried to prepare for this game as best as we could and we managed to achive our goal and to win the match. ı have to congratulate my players. the goal is a result of our work and ı am proud on it. ı am proud how olympiacos played tonight
