Following a 1-0 victory over Atromitos in their league opener, Olympiacos midfielder Lorenzo Sipicchio expressed confidence in his individual condition ahead of their match against Asteras Tripolis. He emphasized that the team must demonstrate “personality and character” and take a proactive role to secure a second consecutive win. Olympiacos subsequently secured a 1-0 victory against Asteras Tripolis via a goal from Zota Silva, bringing their Stoiximan Super League start to 2-0. While the win was successful, the performance was previously noted for missed opportunities and a lack of established team chemistry as Coach Mendilibar works to integrate new players. In transfer news, the club is reportedly finalizing the signing of 23-year-old Colombian midfielder Gustavo Puerta from Racing Santander. The move, which may involve a loan arrangement with Nottingham Forest, is expected to be the most expensive transfer in the history of Greek football, with the player reportedly traveling to Greece for medical examinations. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-31: Olympiacos nears record signing of Gustavo Puerta Olympiacos is nearing the record-breaking signing of Colombian midfielder Gustavo Puerta while securing a 1-0 win against Asteras Tripolis in the Greek Super League. 12 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/olympiacos-secures-victory-against-asteras-tripolis ### 2026-08-29: Lorenzo Sipicchio discusses Olympiacos' goals ahead of Asteras Tripolis match Olympiacos midfielder Lorenzo Sipicchio says the team must show personality and character in their upcoming match against Asteras Tripolis to secure a second consecutive league win. 11 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/lorenzo-sipicchio-discusses-olympiacos-goals-ahead-of-asteras-tripolis-match --- Cite as: Olympiacos football team performance and transfers.
