Analysis The numbers behind the result
Olympiakos' dominance justified by superior xG and shot volume
Olympiakos Piraeus' 2-1 victory was fully deserved on the balance of play, with their 2.53 xG comfortably exceeding both their actual goals tally and Jagiellonia's meagre 0.52 xG. The Greek side's 58% possession translated into 25 total shots (6 on target) versus Jagiellonia's paltry 4 attempts (3 on target), demonstrating their control of both territory and chance creation. The crucial goals came from Armando González (43') and substitute Roman Yaremchuk (84'), with Remo Freuler providing the decisive assist.
Tellingly, Olympiakos generated 13 corners to Jagiellonia's zero, highlighting their sustained attacking pressure. Despite Kajetan Szmyt's 20th-minute opener for Jagiellonia, the visitors lacked a foothold thereafter, managing only one off-target shot after halftime. The outcome was best summarised by shot volume: Olympiakos' 25 attempts nearly tripled Jagiellonia's output, a disparity that ultimately decided the contest.
