Olympiacos kept their Champions League knockout hopes alive with a 2-0 victory over Bayer Leverkusen. First-half goals from Costinha and Mehdi Taremi secured the win, giving the Greek side a crucial boost in their quest for advancement. The result lifts their standing in a tight group.

This win is vital for Olympiacos, who have historically struggled in the latter stages of European competition. Beating a Bundesliga side like Leverkusen provides a significant morale and points boost. It keeps them in contention for a top-two finish, a target they have narrowly missed in recent campaigns.

The victory sets up a tense final matchday for the group. Olympiacos will need to secure points in their last game while monitoring results elsewhere. Their defensive discipline and Taremi's scoring form will be key factors as they chase a rare knockout round berth.
