Olympiakos has made the most of the points that PAOK, Panathinaikos and Aris dropped, opening a three-point distance at the top of the Super League table on Sunday with its road win at OFI.

The Reds defeated their Cretan host 2-0 at Iraklio with goals from Giulian Biancone and Chiqinho and finished first at the halfway point of the regular season.

Aris is the new leader of the Super League as AEK and PAOK canceled each other out on Sunday, meaning the two Thessaloniki teams are hand-in-hand at the top of the table.

Champion PAOK led at AEK, but the hosts equalized within 10 minutes for a 1-1 final score in a very entertaining game at the OPAP Arena.

AEK has risen to the top of the Super League table with its victory at the Athens derby over Panathinaikos on Sunday, after PAOK lost the Thessaloniki derby to visiting Aris.

AEK was the better team at Nea Filadelfia and deservedly won 2-0 in the first major derby of the capital this season.
