Olympiacos left the Netherlands empty-handed despite a commanding individual performance from Rodinei, who won 12 of his 20 duels in Wednesday's 2-1 Champions League defeat to NEC Nijmegen.
The Brazilian defender threw himself into the physical contest from the first whistle, emerging victorious in three out of every five battles across 90 minutes. His 7.4 match rating reflected a rearguard effort that kept Olympiacos in contention even as the scoreline tilted against them.
Rodinei's work was concentrated on the ground, winning one aerial duel while dominating in tackles and physical exchanges along the flank. The 33-year-old's willingness to engage repeatedly, even after losing eight duels, underscored the kind of evening Olympiacos endured: competitive in the individual battles, outmatched in the final outcome.
NEC's win continues a difficult campaign for the Greek side, who will need more than defensive resilience when they return to European action. Rodinei's durability remains an asset, but on nights like this, it takes more than one man winning his personal war to claim the points.
