Olympiacos came close in the 10th minute when Zelson unleashed a powerful shot that struck the post. Just moments earlier, Malmö had their opportunity through Bolin, but his effort went wide.

In the 12th minute, Malmö created another chance, but Bolin’s strike missed the target. Olympiacos responded, and by the 14th minute, they had the best opportunity of the game so far – a fierce shot by Tiquinho forced Malmö’s goalkeeper Dalin to make a vital save.

As the teams head into the second half, Olympiacos will look to convert their pressure into goals, while Malmö remains dangerous on the counterattack. With both teams needing points, the match remains finely balanced as they return to the pitch.
