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]
