Olympiacos F.C.
Olympiacos secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory away to Panserraikos, with Ayoub El Kaabi proving to be the difference-maker in a match that nearly slipped away from the visitors. The Piraeus giants dominated the second half through El Kaabi's clinical double between the 60th and 70th minutes, capitalizing on their superior quality after a cagey first half that saw Olympiacos make four changes at the break. However, Vernon de Marco's 82nd-minute strike for the hosts set up a nervy finale, as Panserraikos pushed desperately for an equalizer in the closing stages. This victory maintains Olympiacos' strong league position and demonstrates their ability to grind out results even when not at their fluent best, while Panserraikos can take heart from their spirited late fightback despite ultimately falling short.
