PIRAEUS, Greece, Sept. 18 (Xinhua) -- Olympiacos came back from behind to level with Tottenham Hotspur in their Group B match of the European Champion League here on Wednesday.

It looked like Tottenham Hotspur sailed to the victory when they scored two goals in five minutes at Georgios Karaiskakis stadium in Piraeus but the reds weren't ready to die so easily, and they made a glorious comeback with Daniel Podence scoring at the 44rd minute of the game and Mathieu Valbuena with a penalty at the 54th minute of the game.

Olympiacos players froze when Harry Kane scored a penalty at the 26th minute of the game and Lucas Moura scored a second goal four minutes later.

The players and the supporters of the Greeks didn't believe that anything positive would come out on Wednesday night at Piraeus.

But Daniel Podence with his goal just before the end of the first half, made everyone believe otherwise.

Although Olympiacos was more certain and serious, nothing much happened at the second half and the two teams won a point from their first game for the second group of Champions League.
