FC Dynamo Kyiv

The European dream has ended for Olympiakos, as the 2-2 home draw last week was followed by a 1-0 loss at Dynamo Kiev on Thursday. The Ukrainians proved more effective in attack over the two legs, taking most of the few chances they created, and advanced on a 3-2 aggregate score to the last 16 of the Europa League.

Olympiakos will need to win in Ukraine next week, or at least snatch a 3-3 draw, if it is to go through to the round of 16 of the Europa League, after conceding a late equalizer to Dynamo Kiev for a 2-2 first-leg score in Piraeus on Thursday.

Of the sixteen people detained by police in Athens late Thursday in connection with the damage they caused at a cafe in Kolonaki while fighting on the premises before a soccer match between local club AEK and the visiting Ukrainian team Dynamo Kiev, all but one were released without charge after police were unable to find evidence linking them to the scuffle.

Greek police say they are on high alert for Thursday's Europa League match in the Greek capital  between AEK Athens and visiting Dynamo Kiev after the Rouvikonas anti-establishment group issued a statement condemning the Ukrainian team's fans as "fascists of the Right Sector," a far-right Ukrainian nationalist political party and movement.
