The fight scene was way too ambiguous to dictate that EQ is in any way more powerful than Zelena... Even if you wanted to ignore the more likely interpretations of her being...

a) Emotionally or physically stunned at EQ's actions b) Not bothering to fight an undefeatable enemy c) Simply exhausted from the fireball hit d) Wanting to test how far EQ would go with her threats before poofing

...you'd be contradicting established show canon. Granted, since OUaT contradicts it's own canon on a weekly basis, it's hard for us not to do it. But it's our role as theorists to try to make sense out of the mess they leave and keep it somewhat consistent.
