Ten-man Olympiakos drew 1-1 with Wolves in Piraeus on Thursday in the first leg of the Europa League Round of 16 tie that is unknown when and if it will see its second leg played.

The low-key affair, played behind closed doors at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium to contain the spread of the coronavirus epidemic, involved nine Portuguese players and two Portuguese coaches.

Olympiakos and PAOK escaped from OFI and Lamia respectively with 1-0 away wins to keep up their fight for the Super League's top spot. AEK, Panathinaikos and Aris also won.

Olympiakos defeated AEK on Sunday in the weekend's derby to remain on top of the Super League for one more week, with PAOK hot on its heels after its away victory at Volos on Saturday.

Ten-man Olympiakos suffered its first loss after 20 games in all competitions as it surrendered its first-half lead at Red Star Belgrade to lose 3-1 for the group stage of the Champions League on Tuesday.
