Atromitos take slender lead in Cup (video)

Atromitos took the first step toward reaching the final of the
Greek Cup on Wednesday by beating Olympiakos Volou 2-1 in the first leg of the first semifinal.
However the away goal scored about 10 minutes from time gives Olympiakos Volou plenty of hopes for the return in order to reach their first cup final ever.
The hosts at Peristeri had a solid first half and took the lead at the 19th minute through a Marek Saganowski goal from close range after an Henri Camara cross.
Atromitos doubled their lead on the hour mark with Camara once again being the provider and Costas Nebegleras tapping the ball into the visitors' net.
Olympiakos Volou tried to pull a goal back in the last 20 minutes of the game and did exactly that at the 80th. Javier Umbides took a corner and Papa Khalifa Sankare got a free header that tossed the net, although the hosts are claiming an offensive foul.
The return leg is at Volos on March 16.
