Former Nottingham Forest player Patjim Kasami scored the only goal of the game as Olympiacos took a 1-0 victory over the Premier League side.

Kasami, who was loaned out to Forest by the Greek side during the 2016-17 season, headed home from a corner in the first-half.

Forest made a host of changes during the match in a bid to mount a fight-back, but Steve Cooper’s side suffered their second defeat in Greece – after Tuesday’s 3-2 loss to Atromitos.
