In a dramatic twist at the Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium, Panathinaikos goalkeeper Bartlomiej Dragowski made a costly error that resulted in the fastest goal in the Greek derby’s history.
Just 47 seconds after kick-off, a seemingly routine play turned into an embarrassing mistake for the Polish international.
After Sverrir Ingason passed the ball back to Dragowski, the keeper miscontrolled it under immediate pressure from Olympiacos star Roman Yaremchuk. In his attempt to clear the ball, Dragowski was thwarted as Yaremchuk expertly blocked his clearance, sending the ball into the net. The goal sparked wild celebrations among the home fans, while Dragowski was left visibly distraught.
Despite the setback, Dragowski’s teammates quickly rallied around him, trying to lift his spirits during the match. Social media reactions were swift and varied—some fans expressed shock and even called for his replacement, while others acknowledged Yaremchuk’s brilliant execution under pressure.
Olympiacos, owned by Nottingham Forest’s Evangelos Marinakis, continued to press their advantage by extending their lead in the 16th minute with a stunning strike from Chiquinho, an effort in which Dragowski was not involved. However, Panathinaikos showed resilience by responding just nine minutes later when Filip Mladenovic brought hope back for the visitors in what is shaping up to be a fiercely contested Super League play-off encounter.
