Olympiakos ke Dani Garcia ko 13th minute mein yellow card mila. 34th minute tak dono managers ko kai substitutions karne pade; Jota Silva ki jagah Konstantinos Fortounis aaye, wahi NEC Nijmegen ki taraf se Sami Ouaissa aur Philippe Sandler ki jagah Emre Mor aur Brayann Pereira ne field par kadam rakha.

Lekin match ka sabse bada turning point 80th minute mein aaya. Konstantinos Fortounis ko seedha red card dikhaya gaya. Is decision par Olympiakos ke players ne bohot protest kiya, par referee nahi maane. 10 players ke saath Greek giants backfoot par aa gaye aur match extra-time mein chala gaya.
