El Kaabi does not stop scoring, he also found the net against PAOK in Toumba and proved that he is the “bright” beacon of Olympiakos.
Olympiacos got a much-needed double. Victory in Toumba over PAOK with 3-2 and a very good performance against a contender for the title. Of course, Babis Kostoulas shone in Thessaloniki. The 17-year-old forward from the red and whites was amazing and scored his first goal for the first team of the red and whites.
Thus, the two 17-year-olds from Piraeus, Kostoulas and Mouzakitis, have turned the spotlight on them in the first part of the season. However, one cannot fail to mention Ayoub El Kaabi, the “beacon” of Olympiakos.
The Moroccan striker scored a 2-0 goal for the red and whites against PAOK. Somehow he scores in a third game in a row (including the European one with Rangers), while in the Stoiximan Super League he has reached seven goals in total.
In the Opta/Stats Perform chart you can see all of El Qaabi’s finals, goals and xGoals in his 11 league games.
El Qaabi’s finals and xGoals in the Stoiximan Super League this year
El Kaabi is a “fire” in the area. Overall, it has 38 finals and just the four of them it’s out of the box. It has 6.93xG, if we count the one penalty he has executed and 6.09 without it. Moreover, it has 0.16xG per final.
Of course, the Moroccan striker is one of the most threatening footballers in the league. Without counting the penalty, he has 0.67xG per 90 minutesi.e. the top performance in the Stoiximan Super League, ahead of Franzi Piero (0.5) and Levi Garcia (0.45) who complete the trio.
Record threat against PAOK
Against PAOK he did what he knows very well, scoring. In the 50th minute, Zelson Martins made the charge from the left towards the area. El Kaabi moved between the two stoppers of the Doubleheader, Kohli and Lovren, and sent the ball into the net with projection.
In the graph of Opta/Stats Perform see all the actions, but also the top performances of El Kaabi against Dikefalos.
The actions and top performances of El Kaabi in PAOK – Olympiacos
The Moroccan striker had 32 actions with the ballthe three in the opposing area. By his standards, they were few, but one of them was enough for him to find the way to the net.
El Kaabi moved everywhere on the pitch. He played further back, drawing opponents onto him and opening up space for his team-mates, while putting up big battles down the length and breadth of the pitch.
The performance that stands out for him is his finals. Specifically, it had four total with “value” 1.23xG. He was the most threatening player against PAOK, while no Olympiakos player had more xG than El Kaabi in a single game this year.
The Moroccan striker is always “present”. Even in the difficult days of Olympiakos, he pulls the chestnuts out of the fire and proves how crucial it was for the red and whites to “tie” him this summer.
