MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) -Greek champion Olympiakos scored three goals in the first 25 minutes to beat Melbourne Victory 4-1 in a friendly match on Saturday.

It was the first match for Victory's new coach Ange Postecoglou, who signed a three-year deal with the Melbourne club in April, just days after guiding Brisbane Roar to Australia's A-League title.

Olympiakos dominated the game with five Greek internationals tuning up for the upcoming European Championship next month. David Fuster and Ioannis Fetfaztidis scored early and Petar Franjic's own goal brought the guests' lead to 3-0 before Archie Thompson scored Melbourne's only goal in the 29th.

Fuster added his second in the final minutes of the match to win 4-1.

Olympiakos has 39 Greek league and 25 Greek Cup titles.
