Conceding 10 goals in 4 games, show that defence is the weak point for OFI Crete this season.
OFI was a better team in the first 30 minutes of the game, but a couple of mistakes were enough for Xanthi to gain a 2-0 before the half time break (Erik Jendrišek 28’, 40’).
After 87 minutes, Aleksandar Kovacevic made it 3-0 with a direct free kick.
OFI now has only 1 point after 4 games and coach Nikos Papadopoulos has a lot of work to do to fix the "black hole" in the back.
OFI Crete: Sotiriou, Kyriakidis, Koiliaras, Potouridis, Papazoglou (9' Komesidis, 46' Nastos), Mellado, Papasterianos, Platellas, Koutsianikoulis (68' Neira), Vouho, Aravidis
Xanthi and OFI will face each other again next Wednesday for the Greek Cup, in the same arena.
