Olympiakos scraped past a rigid PAS Giannina defense with a late winner on Sunday, but the weekend's triumph belonged to Panathinaikos that beat Aris away and is back in the mix for a European spot.

AEK and PAOK crashed out of the Europa League on Thursday after suffering bitter losses that banished all hope of progression for Greece's representatives in the tournament.

AEK had another disastrous evening at home in Europe, going down to Portugal's Braga with a 4-2 score at the Olympic Stadium of Athens.
