Juventus were defeated 1-0 by Olympiakos at the Karaiskakis Stadium in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday night.
The lone goal of the game came courtesy of a first-half strike by Pajtim Kasami; with Olympiakos goalkeeper Roberto producing many saves to deny the Bianconeri.
The home side started the game off brightly when Alejandro Dominguez unleashed a powerful free-kick which was turned away by Gianluigi Buffon.
La Vecchia Signora came close to making it 1-0 minutes later when Carlos Tevez notched onto Alvaro Morata’s header, only to see his attempt get cleared off the line by Omar Elabdellaoui.
Tevez had the ball in the back of the net minutes later, but it was ruled out for offside.
The Kokkinoi soon had their opening goal with a very a swift counter attack which was finished off by former Palermo man Pajtim Kasami, placing his strike in the bottom right corner.
Juventus had the chance to equalise early on in the second half, but Stephan Lichsteiner saw his left-footed go inches wide of the post.
The hosts should’ve doubled their lead moments later, Alejandro Domiguez darted down the left-hand side before pulling the ball back to Kasami, but the Swiss international’s finish went centimetres wide of the post.
It was Alvaro Morata who had the next chance to score; the Spaniard managed to turn away from his marker only to see his powerful finish saved by Roberto.
The former Real Madrid man could’ve equalised with twenty minutes remaining when he latched onto Arturo Vidal’s cross from the right-hand side, but the Spaniard’s header went over the bar.
Morata was once again at the centre of trouble; Tevez managed to slot the ball through to the striker but Alberto Botia managed to interfere in the nick of time.
Paul Pogba then attempted a swerving shot from outside the area, but the advanced Roberto managed to recover and punch it away from danger.
The Frenchman then spotted Arturo Vidal on the far post, and the Chilean managed to pull the ball back for Tevez, but Roberto was once again the hero.
The Spanish goalkeeper once again imposed his presence, this time he managed to keep out Pogba’s intended cross, before keeping out Morata’s volley seconds later.
Five minutes from time, Roberto once again managed to produce a stunning save to deny a powerful attempt from Tevez.
