Olympiakos vs Maccabi Haifa

GIBRALTAR, Greece (Interstat) — Frantzdy Pierrot scored twice and Maccabi Haifa erupted for four goals to defeat Olympiakos 4-0 on Sunday, May 17, 2026, in a UEFA Champions League match at Stadio Georgios Karaiskáki.

Pierrot, a 6-foot-4, 205-pound forward from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, put Maccabi Haifa ahead for good in the 61st minute, finishing an assist from Dolev Haziza. He added his second goal four minutes later, this time off a feed from Pierre Cornud. The brace gave Pierrot a stat line of two goals in 86 minutes played.

Tjaronn Inteff Chefren Chery opened the scoring in the fifth minute, converting a pass from Stefano Fiore. Chery, a 5-foot-6, 149-pound midfielder from Den Haag, Suriname, played 78 minutes and registered one goal.

Mohammad Abu Fani, a substitute from Kfar Qara, Israel, capped the scoring in the 86th minute with an assist from Nikita Vadymovych Rukavytsya. Abu Fani logged 12 minutes on the pitch.

The match featured nine yellow cards, with Olympiakos receiving four and Maccabi Haifa five. Olympiakos’s Francisco das Chagas Soares dos Santos was booked in the 25th minute, followed by Pape Abou Cissé in the 26th, Oleg Reabciuk in the 32nd and Mamadou Kane in the 57th. For Maccabi Haifa, Haziza picked up a yellow in the 26th minute, Bogdan Planić in first-half stoppage time, Ali Mohamed Muhammad Al Faz in the 55th and goalkeeper Josh Cohen in the 90th.

Maccabi Haifa improved its record in the Champions League to two wins and one loss. The club’s overall season mark across all competitions now stands at 13 wins, 10 losses and five draws. Olympiakos fell to two wins, two losses and one draw in Champions League play, and its overall record this season is five wins, four losses and seven draws.

The victory marked a sharp reversal of recent form for Maccabi Haifa, which entered the match having played to a 1-1 draw Saturday against MK Hapoel Petah Tikva and a 1-1 draw away to Gent on May 16. The club had lost three of its previous five matches across all competitions, including a 3-0 defeat at Maccabi Tel Aviv on May 13. However, Maccabi Haifa had shown offensive firepower earlier in the season, with wins such as a 4-0 result at Ashdod on Dec. 31, 2025, and a 4-0 victory over Bnei Sakhnin on Feb. 15, 2026.

Olympiakos, meanwhile, was coming off a 2-2 draw at Ferencváros on May 9 in league play. The Greek side had managed only one win in its previous five matches across all competitions, a 1-0 victory over Qairat FK on Dec. 9, 2025. In Champions League group action, Olympiakos had drawn PSV 1-1 on Nov. 4, 2025, and earned a 1-0 win at Qairat FK in early December.

The result was a significant upset. Interstat’s game simulator had projected a 1-1 final score, and Interstat’s ELO system gave Olympiakos a 92.40 percent probability of winning the match. Maccabi Haifa’s four-goal outburst came despite those projections and handed Olympiakos its first home loss in the competition this season.
