Olympiacos 18–4 Catalunya: Nine Scorers and Another European Trophy

Olympiacos claimed the 2026 Women’s European Super Cup with an 18–4 victory over EPLUS CN Catalunya in Piraeus. A 4–2 halftime game turned into a dominant second half, with Olympiacos outscoring Catalunya 14–2 and finding goals from nine different players.

Another European trophy belongs to Olympiacos.

The Champions League holders defeated EPLUS CN Catalunya 18–4 to win the 2026 Women’s European Super Cup.

But the final margin does not tell the entire story.

For two quarters, Catalunya remained within reach.

Then Olympiacos took control.

From 4–2 to 18–4

Olympiacos established a 3–1 lead after the opening period.

Catalunya responded in the second.

The second quarter finished just 1–1, leaving the score at 4–2 at halftime.

At that point, the final was still alive.

The third quarter changed everything.

Olympiacos scored seven times and conceded twice to move ahead 11–4.

Then came a devastating final period.

7–0.

From a two-goal halftime advantage, Olympiacos produced a 14–2 second half to finish with a 14-goal victory.

Nine different scorers

Perhaps the clearest indication of Olympiacos’ attacking depth was the distribution of the goals.

Nine players scored.

Stefania Santa 3
Abby Andrews 3
Vasiliki Plevritou 3
Dionysia Koureta 2
Maria Myriokefalitaki 2
Rafaela Saltamanika 1
Foteini Tricha 1
Christina Siouti 1
Eirini Ninou 1

Catalunya, by comparison, had two scorers.

Emmerson Joy Houghton scored three of the Spanish side’s four goals, with Marina Pineda Parera adding the other.

Nine scorers. 18 goals. A 14–2 second half.

Where the final changed

The 4–2 halftime score matters.

For two periods, Catalunya had succeeded in keeping the European champions within striking distance.

That changed dramatically in the third.

Olympiacos began finding goals through different players and different attacking situations.

The 7–2 third quarter broke the game open.

The 7–0 fourth turned victory into a commanding final score.

For Catalunya, Piraeus represented another step into Europe’s biggest club stages.

For Olympiacos, it delivered another trophy.

The message behind 18–4

A Super Cup is one match.

It cannot define the season ahead.

But the way Olympiacos transformed a 4–2 halftime lead into an 18–4 final score provides a striking opening statement.

Not simply because Olympiacos scored 18.

But because nine different players contributed to them.

And because once the second half began, the gap became decisive.

Olympiacos 18–4 Catalunya.

European Super Cup in Piraeus.

Another European trophy for Olympiacos.
