Olympiakos beat Xanthi 1-0 (video) Saturday to maintain its big lead in the Greek league.
Alan Pulido scored the only goal in the 74th minute with a shot into an empty net from an assist by Costas Fortounis.
Five days after its league-record, 17-win streak ended with a 1-1 draw at Platanias, Olympiakos had some difficulty in putting Xanthi away. The visitors created several chances, with the best coming through Karim Soltani’s close-range shot in the 66th, which hit the post.
