PAOK holds the Greens, Olympiakos denies AEK

Panathinaikos dropped two precious points at home against PAOK on Wednesday, but will not pay for it as AEK also stumbled at home against Olympiakos, leaving the situation unchanged at the top of the Super League table.

The Greens drew 1-1 with PAOK at the Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium, in a game they needed to win to stay on course for the league title. Still, AEK's draw means they can still clinch the trophy with two wins against Olympiakos on Sunday and Aris the following weekend.

Panathinaikos took an early lead via Daniel Mancini, but PAOK responded at the hour mark with Brandon Thomas.

Mancini also hit the crossbar, as the Greens ended the game both frustrated and with a man down, since Bart Schenkeveld saw a straight red and will miss the derby at Olympiakos.

The Reds managed to escape defeat at AEK, as the Yellows remained scoreless for a second...
