Two goals disallowed by VAR in Omonia versus Olympiakos match

On October 19, 2026, the football match between Omonia and Olympiakos at the GSP Stadium saw two significant goals disallowed following interventions by the Video Assistant Referee (VAR). The events occurred during a high-stakes first half where Olympiakos initially led 2-1.

The first controversy took place in the third minute of first-half stoppage time, when Olympiakos forward Zanos Savva scored a long-range goal. However, after an on-field review, the referee disallowed the effort due to a handball committed by Savva during his ball control preceding the shot. Shortly after the break, in the 49th minute, Omonia’s winger Montnor also had a goal ruled out. After successfully bypassing the Olympiakos goalkeeper Talichmanidis to score into an empty net, the goal was invalidated by an offside ruling.

These decisions maintained the score at 2-1 in favor of Olympiakos. The match continues to be characterized by tight officiating and heavy reliance on VAR technology to determine the validity of attacking plays, frustrating both teams as they struggle to alter the established scoreline.
