Olympiakos Denied Away Win Again vs Shaktar
28th September 2006

Olympiacos were denied again a first-ever away win in the Champions League by Ciprian Marica's second-half equaliser for Shakhtar Donetsk after the Group D clash ended even.

Olympiacos have never won a match outside of Greece in the tournament in 29 attempts, twice went ahead in the match but were pegged back and had to settle for a point against Mircea Lucescu's battling home side.

Olympiakos played terrible in the start of the game, but then they improved a lot. In the second half they had a great performance, I did not expect this.

However they have the same problem of keeping the score. It seems like they give up after they score. In this game this happened twice. Olympiakos took the lead twice but they were equalised a few minutes after scoring in both situations.
