How did Olympiacos establish early dominance?
Olympiacos opened with a 4-0 run and extended the advantage to 8-2 inside the opening ten minutes. AEK responded with a three-goal sequence to reach 8-5, yet Olympiacos restored a six-goal cushion at 14-8. The half closed at 17-9 after another two-goal burst. The five-minute score sequence shows consistent separation: 5-1, 7-2, 8-4, 10-7, 13-7, 17-9. Papavasilis scored to make it 8-2. AEK’s Linarez cut the deficit to three goals at 8-5. Panagiotou restored a six-goal lead at 14-8. Nikolics extended the margin to eight goals for the first time at 17-9. The five-minute intervals demonstrate that Olympiacos never allowed AEK to stay within reach for long, building a lead that grew steadily through the opening thirty minutes.
What characterised the second-half performance?
The pattern continued after the interval. Olympiacos moved ahead 24-15 by the 45th minute after Linarez scored for AEK. The margin reached double figures at 32-19 and finished at 35-24. AEK never reduced the deficit below three goals after the first quarter and finished eight goals behind the eventual champions. The five-minute intervals in the second half read 18-10, 20-12, 24-15, 28-17, 31-19, 35-24. Olympiacos kept adding goals in each interval while AEK managed only small responses that failed to change the outcome.
Which historical milestones were achieved?
The win gave Olympiacos its fifth Super Cup title in succession, covering 2022 through 2026. The competition has now been staged six times; Ionikos claimed the only other title in 1999. Olympiacos also collected its first trophy of the current campaign after securing the domestic double the previous season.
Why did AEK fail to close the gap?
AEK managed short scoring runs but could not sustain pressure. The largest recovery reduced the margin to three goals once in the first half; no further inroads followed. Olympiacos maintained possession control and converted turnovers into fast breaks that repeatedly stretched the lead.
