Olympiacos clinches 19th domestic double with Greek Cup victory

·

Olympiacos FC completed its 19th domestic double on Saturday with a 2-0 win over OFI Crete in the Greek Cup final at the Olympic Stadium of Athens, adding the trophy to this season’s Super League title.

Despite strong support for OFI in the stands, Olympiacos dominated the match. The breakthrough came in the 9th minute, when Ayoub El Kaabi collected a Rodinei free kick at the edge of the box and fired it high into the net.

Chiquinho posed several threats to the OFI goal in the first half, while OFI registered its first shot on target only in the 42nd minute.

OFI showed more ambition in the second half, especially after the 70th minute, but failed to trouble Olympiacos goalkeeper Alexandros Paschalakis, aside from a 90th-minute header by Thiago Nuss.

Olympiacos sealed victory with a stoppage-time goal by Roman Yaremchuk on the counterattack, securing the club’s 29th Greek Cup.

The outcome also impacts Greece’s European placements: PAOK will enter the Europa League qualifiers, while AEK and Aris will compete in the Conference League qualifiers.
