Olympiakos’ second friendly in the Netherlands in 24 hours, as they faced Mechelen from Belgium and won 2-0 with a very good performance and their young players showing promise again.
Unlike yesterday’s game against Ajax (0-1), where the “red and whites” were also excellent but missed a goal, against the Belgians they scored two and wasted several opportunities to create a bigger difference on the scoreboard.
Especially the goal by 17-year-old Christos Mouzakitis, after just 5 minutes, with a powerful long-range shot, but also technical, was a feast for the eyes and very reminiscent of Yamal’s against France, in the recent European Championship.
The final score was formed with a beautiful goal by Zelson Martins in the 28th minute, when from an excellent pass by Ortega the ball reached Kostula and he assisted the Portuguese for the 2-0, against an opponent who starts next week in the championship.
Among the many opportunities for the Piraeus team, the one that stood out in the 81st minute was the double goal by Rodinei and Masoura.
