Rabat– Ayoub El Kaabi delivered once again for Olympiakos, scoring the only goal in a tight 1–0 away win against Panetolikos. Beyond securing three crucial points, the Moroccan forward’s performance added another layer to a season defined by consistency and high-impact finishing.
El Kaabi broke the deadlock in the 70th minute, taking advantage of a rare defensive lapse and finishing with his usual composure. The strike marked his 10th goal in the Greek Super League and 14th across all competitions, maintaining his reputation as one of Europe’s most reliable forwards outside the top five leagues.
This season, the 31-year-old averages a goal every 112 minutes, and his shot-conversion rate of 22% places him among the most efficient attackers in Greece. Olympiakos’ dependency on him is clear: he has scored 40% of the club’s league goals, and the team has won every match in which he has found the net.
El Kaabi is considered one of the Moroccan national team’s top forwards, and his inclusion in the final squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco this December is highly anticipated. His form in Europe strengthens his chances of playing a key role for the Lions of Atlas on home soil.
With Olympiakos leading the standings but chased closely by PAOK and Panathinaikos, every point matters — and El Kaabi’s reliability could prove decisive in the title race. For Moroccan fans, his continued success abroad reinforces his status as one of the Atlas Lions’ most in-form players heading into international fixtures, promising excitement both at club and national level.
