Olympiakos wins the Europa Conference League by dominating Fiorentina in overtime

The third edition of the Europa League conference crowned Olympiakos. The Greek club, which played the final at home in Athens, snatched victory against Fiorentina in extra time (1-0) on Wednesday May 29.

At the end of a very closed match, not to say boring, the Moroccan Ayoub El Kaabi, revelation of the competition (11 goals in 9 matches) scored the winning goal by throwing himself on a cross in the 116th minute. The achievement was validated despite the intervention of the VAR, who came to check a possible offside. The hold-up was perfect for the players of the Spaniard José Luis Mendilibar, harmless during the rest of the match and even rather dominated by the Florentines (53% possession, 17 shots to 6).

When Olympiakos gets their hands on the first European trophy in their history and gets a ticket for the next Europa League, Fiorentina suffers a second disappointment in the final of the competition. Already in 2023, the Viola had been crucified in the final moments, West Ham winning in the 90th minute on a late goal from Jarrod Bowen. She will have to start from scratch next season, going through the play-offs to try her luck again in this same Europa Conference League.
