Berg masterpiece beats hero Kapino as the Greens triumphed in the Greek Derby

Marcus Berg scored a memorable goal to settle the Derby of Eternal Rivals on Sunday as Panathinaikos downed Olympiakos by just 1-0 missing numerous chances to extend its lead. The Reds had Stefanos Kapino to thank for his saves that prevented the champion from getting thrashed at the Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium.

The result changed little at the top, as second-placed Panionios also lost at third PAOK to stay six points off the pace, so Olympiakos still needs three wins in the five remaining games to clinch the Super League title.

Fourth-placed Panathinaikos, now nine points from the top, has earned the bragging rights across Greece not only for its win over its archrival but also for the way it imposed its game on its opponent, in a match that was unusually peaceful by the Greek Derby's standards, and without any serious controversies regarding its officiating.
