Olympiacos pulled off a sensational comeback against Jastrzębski, turning a 0-2 deficit into a stunning 3-2 victory in the first leg of the CEV Champions League quarterfinals. With their backs against the wall, the Greek team refused to back down, delivering a performance full of heart, grit, and determination.
Gordon Perrin was the standout star, leading with 25 points, while Anestis Dalakouras came off the bench to make a huge impact with 13 points. After losing the first two sets (20-25, 21-25), Olympiacos roared back, crushing their opponents in the third (25-14) and keeping the momentum going in the fourth (25-20). The fifth and final set was a nail-biter, but Olympiacos held their nerve to seal the win (15-12), handing Jastrzębski their first European loss this season.
The fight isn’t over yet. The second leg in Poland on March 19 will be the decider. Olympiacos needs any kind of win to reach the Final Four, while Jastrzębski will advance if they win 3-0 or 3-1. A 3-2 victory for the Polish side would push the tie into a golden set.
One thing’s for sure—Olympiacos just sent a loud and clear message: they’re here to fight, and they won’t go down easily.
