High-flying OFI had taken an 11th-minute lead thanks to an Adil Nabi goal, but they were pegged back by Rogerio Thuram’s equaliser on the stroke of half-time, and then Elini Dimoutsos clinched the three points for Lamia with a winning goal just before the hour mark.
It was a disappointing result for OFI, who defeated AEK 1-0 last weekend and were aiming to move above the Kitrinomavri, while Lamia moved up to eighth in the table as a result of their unexpected victory.
All square in Tripolis
Asteras Tripolis’ hopes of putting some distance between themselves and the wrong end of the table were dealt a blog as the Arcadians were held to a 1-1 home draw by Larissa at the Theodoros Kolokotronis stadium.
Jeronimo Barrales gave the home side the lead after 19 minutes, giving Borja Jimenez’s team the perfect platform to go on to win the game against their high-flying opponents.
But the visitors are not an easy team to beat this season, and Larissa fought back in the second half with Jean-Luc Assoubre levelling matters on the hour mark for Michalis Grigoriou’s Vissini side.
The outcome is that Asteras remain third from bottom with 12 points from 13 matches so far, while Larissa move into fourth place on 19 points along with OFI.
