Olympiakos pulled off an impressive feat by defeating FC Porto 1-0 on their home turf during the 7th round of the Europa League. The hero of the night was Moroccan international Ayoub El Kaabi, who scored the game’s only goal in the 79th minute, bringing his team closer to direct qualification for the Round of 16.
The winning goal came from a play initiated by Christos Mouzakitis, who intercepted the ball and delivered a perfect assist to El Kaabi. The Moroccan forward remained composed and slotted the ball into the top right corner, scoring a crucial goal for the Red and Whites.
With this achievement, Ayoub El Kaabi etched his name into Olympiakos’ history books. He became the club’s all-time top scorer in European competitions with 21 goals, surpassing his compatriot Youssef El-Arabi. This milestone is even more remarkable as El Kaabi achieved it in just 26 appearances, compared to El-Arabi, who required more than double the matches to reach 20 goals.
Thanks to this historic victory, Olympiakos is in an ideal position for direct qualification. A win against Qarabag in the final group stage match will guarantee their place in the Round of 16. This outstanding performance highlights El Kaabi’s crucial role in Olympiakos’ success this season.
