Morocco forward Ayoub El Kaabi scores but Olympiacos fall to PAOK

Morocco international Ayoub El Kaabi was on target for Olympiacos but it was not enough to salvage his outfit from a defeat against PAOK Thessaloniki in a tense Super League encounter.

Ayoub found the net in the 29th minute of the first half, reacting sharply inside the box to convert a well-worked attacking move. The finish underlined his trademark positioning and composure, as he once again punished a defensive lapse with ruthless efficiency.

El Kaabi’s goal briefly shifted momentum in favour of PAOK, who looked to build on the breakthrough. However, their opponents responded strongly, regaining control of the match and gradually asserting dominance in key areas of the pitch.

Despite PAOK’s efforts to stay in the contest, defensive lapses and missed opportunities in attack proved costly. The opposition capitalised to score three times, turning the match firmly in their favour and leaving the visitors with too much to do in the closing stages.

Although the result was disappointing for PAOK, El Kaabi’s individual performance stood out once again. His latest goal further strengthens his position at the top of the scoring charts in the Super League Greece, reinforcing his reputation as one of the most consistent forwards in the division.

The Moroccan striker has built a reputation for delivering in crucial moments, and this latest strike adds to a growing tally that continues to underline his importance to the team’s attacking structure.

While the defeat will sting, El Kaabi’s form remains a major positive as PAOK look ahead to the remaining fixtures of the season, where his goals could yet prove decisive in their campaign objectives.
