Cyriel Dessers scores as Panathinaikos beat Levadiakos 2-1 away in Greek Super League

Cyriel Dessers found the net as Panathinaikos defeated Levadiakos 2-1 in an away Greek Super League match on Monday night, August 31, 2026. The Greens took an early lead after just three minutes when Levadiakos defender Giannis Kosti turned the ball into his own net. Levadiakos were reduced to ten men around the hour mark when midfielder Panagiotis Simelidis received a straight red card. Dessers came on as a substitute for Andrews Tetteh in the 68th minute and scored Panathinaikos’ second goal a few minutes later to seal the victory.

This performance matters to Nigerian fans because Dessers, who qualifies to play for Nigeria through heritage, has now scored four goals in just four appearances across all competitions for Panathinaikos this season. His form off the bench could strengthen his case for more regular playing time at club level and potentially earn him a recall to the Super Eagles ahead of upcoming qualifiers.

Panathinaikos will look to build on this win in their next league fixture, while Dessers aims to maintain his scoring momentum. With the Nigerian national team monitoring overseas‑based players, will his continued goal‑scoring form earn him a starting role for the Super Eagles in the next international window, or will he remain a valuable impact substitute off the bench?
