Rivaldo stars in Olympiakos win
Reuters, Athens
Two goals from Brazilian striker Rivaldo helped Olympiakos Piraeus come back from a goal down to defeat Xanthi 2-1 on Saturday in their first match in the new Greek Super League. Xanthi stunned the champions with a neatly-taken goal by Giorgos Barkoglou after five minutes. Olympiakos, looking for a 10th league title in 11 years, equalised in the 67th minute when Rivaldo curled a free-kick past the defensive wall. French defender Didier Domi, making his debut for Olympiakos, was sent off in the 83rd minute for a second bookable offence. Three minutes later, Rivaldo produced a stunning strike from long range to seal victory for the home team.
