olympiacos drew 0-0 with Aris, in the second leg of the quarterfinals of the Greek Cup, match in which the Colombian James Rodriguez entered at 65 minutes.
The Colombian’s club won the first leg 1-0, so equality gives them the option of taking one more step towards the title.

It was a fair of inaccuracy in the first half, with an Aris who started very bravely in the rival field but failed to find the rival goal, and an Olympiacos who patiently recovered the ball to take away their opponent’s momentum.
Good game
The first clear option in fact was from the visiting team, a great mid-range shot from Valbuena that the goalkeeper scratched to give up the corner kick.
Soon after it was Bakambu who wasted a quick counterattack and sent her out. The calm was let out by Míchel’s team….
Aris reacted with timid arrivals in the first stage but more clearly in the second, with two separate attempts by García, one that was well saved by the goalkeeper and an assist that his teammate wasted on the left.
Aris had gained confidence and that is why Míchel decided to send James Rodríguez onto the field for the last half hour. A good pass that he did not take advantage of el-arabi and a shot that was cleared from the corner kick were his first brushstrokes.
And then, the controversy: the referee awarded a penalty for an alleged foul by Ntoi that seemed more like a struggle and then the goalkeeper Tsolakis dressed as a hero: his save on Gray’s collection was spectacular and then his reaction on the rebound to give them assurance to theirs the quota to the next phase of the Greek Cup.
Because at 88 came El-Arabi’s goal that punished Aris’s confusion for that penalty mistake and that put the game 0-1 and the series 2-0 in favor of Míchel’s men. But the hard work had been done by the archer, no doubt.
