Olympiacos maintains perfect Europa League record
Overview
Olympiacos continues its successful run in the Europa League League Phase, securing a third consecutive victory. Following an initial 1-0 win against Olympique de Marseille, the club hosted Sparta Prague at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium. In a match characterized by high possession and numerous attempts, Olympiacos secured a 1-0 win in the 78th minute when Armando ‘Hormiga’ González headed the ball into the net following a cross from Marcus Pedersen. González, who entered the match as a substitute in the 62nd minute, saw the goal officially credited to him after UEFA rectified the record, which had initially suggested an own goal by Sivert Mannsverk or a deflection off Matej Matcek. This marks the Mexican striker’s second goal in the Europa League and his fifth goal in all competitions since joining the club. Under the management of Imanol Alguacil, the team dominated with 60% possession and 23 total shots, though Alguacil noted the need for greater clinical efficiency. This victory brings Olympiacos to nine points, maintaining a perfect record of three wins in three matches. The result significantly strengthens the Greek side’s position in the standings, placing them fifth as they aim for a top-eight finish to secure direct qualification for the next round. Additionally, the win contributes to Greece's standing in the UEFA coefficient rankings. The victory helped Greece climb to 10th place in the rankings, increasing the gap between Greece, Czechia, and Poland. Maintaining this position could secure a direct spot in the Champions League League Phase for the 2028/29 season. Coach Alguacil has credited the squad's efforts for a six-match winning streak across all competitions. While González remains a highly impactful tactical resource when coming off the bench, he has not yet become a regular starter.
