The game had a fast pace about it for its entirety. Two minutes in, and we saw the first chance. As Antwerp's Mbwana Samatta put wide a header from close range that at least should have been on target.
Olympiacos' first chance came eleven minutes later when captain Andreas Bouchalakis did well to keep a byline-bound ball in play with a neat backheel, then turn, to set up Youssef El-Arabi, who had his shot blocked.
An even clearer opportunity to score was to come seven minutes later when man-of-the-match Mady Camara had time and space to test Antwerp goalkeeper Jean Butez, but his tame effort didn't trouble him as he made an easy save.
As mentioned, Mady Camara was the man of the match. His energetic midfield presence and work rate were second-to-none throughout the time he was on the pitch.
