PIRAEUS, Greece (AP) -Leonardo Greco set up a goal and scored another as Olympiakos beat Montpellier 3-1 on Tuesday to condemn the French team to a fourth straight Champions League match without a win.

The Greek team took the lead in the fourth minute when Greco swerved past three defenders to set up Djamel Abdoun's strike that hit the post, the rebound falling for Paulo Machado to tap the ball into the net.

Montpellier hit back from the penalty spot in the 66th minute through Younes Belhanda.

But Olympiakos shook off its lackluster form with goals from Greco in the 80th minute and Costas Mitroglou in the 82nd.

About 100 French fans clashed with riot police at Karaiskakis Stadium before the match started.
