Dunfermline Athletic Vs Olympiakos Piraeus
The first leg was at East End Park on 13 November 1968, and the Scottish Daily Mail described the Greek side as both competent and ruthless. Certainly the goalless first half seemed to indicate problems for the Fife team who spent the half attacking. The second half was a different matter however.The Greeks opened up an attacking side to their game, but this allowed Dunfermline more space. This they capitalised on with four second half goals. Edwards scored twice with goals from Fraser and Mitchell as well.
The return match in Athens on 27 November 1968 was a thoroughly feisty affair. Alex Cameron of the Daily Record described the Pars being subject to hacking, kicking, punching, spitting and wrestling, with a weak referee unable to control the match. Barry Mitchell was ordered off for retaliation late in the game. The Greeks scored three goals in the first half.
This forced a grim defensive display at the heart of which were Roy Barry, Willie Callaghan and Jim Fraser. Despite being sorely provoked, Dunfermline Athletic held out and progressed 4-3 on aggregate.
