Both teams were pretty even from the start, with the score being 2-2 after the first period. The Hungarians went up 5-2 in the second period, but two late goals from the Erythrolefki were enough to reduce this lead to just 5-4.
Olympiacos carried his momentum into the third period, and a goal from Alexandros Gounas with one second left in the period gave them a 9-8 lead. Olympiacos then held on in the fourth period for an 11-10 win. It should be noted that when these two teams last met back in December in Hungary, the match ended in a 9-9 draw.
