OFI Crete secures 2-0 victory against Volos in season opener

OFI Crete opened their domestic league campaign with a 2-0 victory over Volos at the Pankritio Stadium on Sunday, August 23, 2026. The match, part of the first round of the Stoiximan Super League, saw the home side establish a comfortable lead early on. The scoring was opened in the 6th minute by an own goal from Siabanis, followed by a successful penalty kick from Nuss in the 33rd minute, effectively deciding the match before halftime.

Manager Christos Kontis opted to rotate his squad, resting several key players during the match to prepare for the upcoming return leg of the UEFA Europa League play-offs. This domestic success follows OFI’s strong performance three days earlier, where they secured a decisive win against CSKA Sofia. The team is currently focusing on their next European engagement, scheduled for Thursday, August 27, in Sofia, where they aim to maintain their positive momentum in international competition.
