Giorgos Kapouranis ( Greek: Γιώργος Καπουράνης, born 21 February 1970) is a former professional footballer who played as a defender. Born in West Germany, he represented the Greece national team.
Kapouranis is perhaps best remembered for his winning goal in a 1995 derby of the eternal enemies between Panathinaikos and his old club Olympiacos. [1] He was subsequently part of the Panathinaikos team that famously reached the semi-finals of the 1995–96 UEFA Champions League, beating AFC Ajax away in the first leg but losing at home. [2]
He represented Greece U21 in the 1988 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, [3] and was eventually capped four times for Greece. [4]
