TRÍPOLI, Greece (Interstat) — Olympiakos SFP opened its domestic campaign with a commanding 3-0 victory over Asteras Tripolis on Wednesday afternoon, exceeding statistical projections in a one-sided Super League 1 match at Stadio Theodoros Kolokotronis.

The visitors from Piraeus needed only two minutes to take control, setting the tone for a performance that rarely saw them troubled. Midfielder Dani García provided the immediate breakthrough, firing Olympiakos into the lead before many in the home crowd had settled. The early goal deflated the hosts and established Olympiakos’s dominance in possession and territory.

Asteras Tripolis showed brief signs of resistance, but their momentum was checked when defender Bruno Onyemaechi received a yellow card in the 19th minute for a foul intended to stem the tide. Olympiakos capitalized on its control in the 27th minute, doubling the advantage through striker Mehdi Taremi. The goal, a product of sustained pressure, effectively put the result beyond doubt before the halftime whistle.

Any notion of a second-half comeback from Asteras was extinguished early in the second period. Olympiakos winger Gelson Martins sealed the comprehensive win in the 59th minute, netting the team’s third goal to complete the scoring. The match grew increasingly fractious as Asteras frustration mounted, with home players José Castaño and André Inácio earning yellow cards in the 53rd and 75th minutes, respectively.

The final scoreline surpassed the pregame projection from Interstat, whose game simulator had predicted a 2-0 Olympiakos victory. The firm’s ELO rating system had given Olympiakos a 51.30 percent probability of winning, a figure the club’s clinical performance rendered conservative.

The result marks a strong start for Olympiakos in Greece’s top flight, though it does not alter the early-season standings, with both teams now at 0-0 records in Super League 1 play. For Asteras Tripolis, the defeat highlights the challenge of competing with the league’s traditional powers, as they were outclassed in front of their home supporters. Olympiakos will look to build on this momentum, while Asteras seeks a swift response after an opening-night display that offered little attacking threat.
