Olympiacos has taken a big step towards the final of the Greek Cup after a crushing 6-0 victory against AEK Athens in the first leg of the semi-finals. El Kaabi contributed to this offensive display by scoring a goal.
Although he didn’t start the match, Ayoub El Kaabi stood out as usual, even though José Luis Mendilibar only brought him on in the 73rd minute.
Five minutes after coming on, the Moroccan international forward showcased his physical and technical qualities in a play that impressed Olympiacos supporters. After starting from his own half with a backheel, he accelerated past opposing defenders and found himself at the far post of AEK’s goal in just a few seconds, finishing the move with his team’s sixth goal. However, the joy of his goal was marred by an injury that forced him to leave the field in the 87th minute.
The return leg will take place in early April, while the final is scheduled for May 16. It is worth noting that the final is played as a single match, unlike the earlier rounds.
