Review | Ricardo Pepi Shares Record with Ronaldo and Agüero
PSV secured a crucial point against Olympiacos FC in the final moments thanks to a goal by Ricardo Pepi. At the dynamic Georgios Karaiskákis Stadium, Peter Bosz's team faced a tough challenge against a disciplined Olympiacos side but Pepi delivered a late equalizer in injury time.
PSV's Challenging Night in Athens
Unlike their previous UEFA Champions League match against SSC Napoli, where the team played smoothly and dynamically, PSV struggled to create clear chances. Olympiacos applied intense pressure and quickly transitioned when losing possession, limiting PSV’s offensive opportunities. Despite this, PSV showed resilience, with Pepi scoring in the 93rd minute to earn a valuable point.

With this result, PSV is currently 17th in the UEFA Champions League rankings.
Ricardo Pepi’s Milestone
Pepi scored his fifth UEFA Champions League goal and his second this season. His goals continue to be remarkable as he has scored against Napoli, Fortuna Sittard, and now Olympiacos without starting matches from kickoff. This latest goal marked his third decisive goal in extra time during a UCL match.
“This makes him the record holder along with Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Agüero.”
