The debut of Dutch coach John van 't Schip on the Greece bench marked one more defeat for the national team, the third in succession, as the 1-0 loss to Finland on Thursday at Tampere leaves Greece all but out of the Euro 2020 finals.

Six minutes were enough for Athletic Bilbao to overturn Panathinaikos's two-goal lead and establish themselves as favorites for the Europa League group stage following Thursday's qualifying play-off first leg clash at Apostolos Nikolaidis stadium in Athens.

Panathinaikos and PAOK scored victories on Thursday and advanced to the play-offs of the Europe League, while Panionios fell to Maccabi Tel Aviv in Athens.

Panathinaikos was clearly the better team in Baku and beat Qabala 2-1 on the night and 3-1 on aggregate to emphatically avenge its elimination from the same competition two years ago.

Panathinaikos and PAOK secured positive results in their first-leg games for the third qualifying round of the Europe League on Thursday, while Panionios suffered a reverse it can overcome in the return game.

AEK will take the Super League play-offs down to the wire seeking to snatch the top spot from PAOK, after beating it 1-0 on Sunday for the second time in two weeks. Panathinaikos defeated Panionios and will likely avoid the last place in the mini-league. Once again both games finished 1-0...

Marcus Berg scored a brace to lead Panathinaikos to another derby win on Sunday, as the Greens beat AEK 3-2 away, while Olympiakos returned to winning ways as it came from behind to beat Platanias on Saturday.

Olympiakos stretched its lead to seven points on Sunday, pending high-flying PAS Giannina's game on Monday at Iraklis, while AEK dropped two more points on Saturday in a Super League round of games with beautiful goals but particularly few fans at the stands.

Champion Olympiakos needed a highly controversial penalty and a winner from Brown Ideye on Sunday night to keep apace with AEK, Panathinaikos, Panionios and Platanias as all five have made it two wins out of two games in the Super League.
