ATHENS, Oct 20 (Reuters) - Substitute Ieroklis Stoltidis gave Olympiakos a last-gasp 2-1 victory over Standard Liege in their Champions League Group H match on Tuesday.

The visitors, who had most of the early chances, took the lead in the 37th minute when Igor De Camargo slotted past Antonis Nikopolidis from inside the area.

Olympiakos struck back just six minutes later after Kostas Mitroglou sent a looping header over Sinan Bolat from a Luciano Galletti free kick.

There were few clear chances in the second half but Stoltidis, a second half replacement for Jaouad Zairi, headed home in the third-minute of added time to clinch the three points.
