N.E.C. Nijmegen makes an impressive return to the Champions League, securing a 0-0 draw against Olympiacos in Greece. The team of trainer Fransesco Simoni did not feature Dusan Tadic, but the Croatian came on later in the game. Kodai Sano is absent due to a potential transfer to PSV Eindhoven. The Japanese player was not in the squad for the match against Olympiacos. The Greeks made a strong start, but N.E.C. Nijmegen survived this and came later close to the opening goal. Jamiro Monteiro had a shot that just went over the bar. In the second half, N.E.C. Nijmegen dominated and created multiple chances to open the scoring. The best chances fell for Monteiro, but he was thwarted each time. Dusan Tadic came on later in the game, but could not help N.E.C. Nijmegen win. A 0-0 draw in Greece is, however, an impressive result. The return match will take place next week.
