Cyriel Dessers, Ayoub El Kaabi on target as Panathinaikos and Olympiakos draw

Nigeria forward Cyriel Dessers helped Panathinaikos to secure a vital point in their 1-1 draw against Olympiakos in the Super League Greece fixture at the Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium on Sunday.

The 30-year-old, who joined the Greece club from Scottish outfit Rangers, broke the deadlock in the 48th minute following a 0-0 outcome in the first half. The Super Eagle took advantage of a cross from Anastasios Bakasetas before slotting the ball past Konstantinos Tzolakis.

Despite his goal, Dessers was also booked in the 39th minute following a clumsy foul before he was subbed off in the 75th minute for Karol Świderski.

Moroccan star Ayoub El Kaabi was the hero for Olympiakos as he ensured they snatched a draw with a late strike in added minutes of the stoppages. El Kaabi converted a pass from substitute Mehdi Taremi to level matters.

Dessers has now made two appearances for Panathinaikos and scored one goal. He will hope to keep his starting role when they return to action in a Europa League fixture against Young Boys at Wankdorf Stadium on Thursday.
