In the new season the “red-whites” have already played two matches, which ended with positive results for Pedro Martins’ charges. For the first time in five years, Olympiacos won the Greek Cup, beating AEK 0-1 in the final match. The only scored goal was scored by Lazar Randzhelovich. In addition, the “legends” began their performance in the local “Super League” with the defeat of “Asteras”. The champions of Greece scored three unanswered goals against the less famous rival.
Barnsley was somewhat sensational in the Cup 1/32 final away from Middlesbrough. The club started badly in the Championship, they got two defeats in the first two rounds. A certain stiffness can be seen in the actions of Struber’s charges. As in the previous season Barnsley is trying to play reliably in his half. But stronger rivals with fast and tenacious attackers still beat the mongrels. Although Barnsley’s aggression is also in order. In the last meeting with Reading the referee even had to remove two team players.
