Olympiacos come out winners in Austria
By: Peter Katsiris | July 4th, 2008Olympiacos opened their friendly schedule when they took on Austrian 3rd division side SV Hall this evening at Stadion Hall in Austria. It was expected that Olympiacos would have a walk in the park kind of game, and the club fulfilled expectations as Olympiacos came out 6-0 winners.
Olympiacos youngster Aristedis Soleidis made it 1-0 after an awful clearance attempt by the Hall defender. It was 2-0 a quarter of an hour later when a Leonel Nunez shot from outside the box made it into the net. Luciano Galletti centered for Darko Kovacevic, and an easy tap from the Serb made it 3-0.
Olympiacos continued their scoring ways in the second half as Mirnes Sisic made it 4-0 on forty-six minutes after a poor defensive effort saw the ball drop for the Slovenian international. Kostas Mitroglou made it 5-0 five minutes later when he latched onto a through pass set out by team captain Pedrag Djordjevic. It was 6-0 when Djordjevic converted from the spot after Sisic was brought down in the box.
***Olympiacos’ next friendly is scheduled for this Sunday (July 6th) against Mexican side Chivas Guadalajara, but the game has been apparently cancelled. If this is in fact true, Olympiacos’ next friendly will instead be on July 10th at Stadium Jenbach against Polish side Groclin.

Chivas’ website confirms the cancellation of their 3-match tour of Europe. It’s a shame, those of us on this side of the Atlantic know Chivas quite well, it would have been interesting to see how Olympiacos would have done against them, even in a friendly. oh, well…

After further research by your truly, I have also realized that the Chivas cancellation was ideal. The Mexican side is set to participate in the Super Liga; a North American, club level tournament featuring clubs from Major League Soccer and the Mexican Primera.
It’s too bad, the match would have been exciting to watch.
