Olympiakos has been crowned winter champion, i.e. will finish first at the halfway point of the regular season, after a very comfortable win over struggling Larissa, while PAOK defeated Panathinaikos in the weekend's most appetizing encounter.

Aris beat crosstown rival PAOK in a bitter derby on Sunday to stay two points behind leader Olympiakos that trounced table-propping Lamia.

The Thessaloniki derbies always tend to be hard-fought, but this season the Aris vs PAOK encounter at the Kleanthis Vikelidis Stadium had some added interest from the fact the two teams are among the Super League table's top-three.

The restart of the Super League with the new-look playoffs, after soccer's three-month freeze, saw Olympiakos all but clinching the title with a 1-0 win at champion PAOK on Sunday.

An own goal by Dimitris Yiannoulis gave Olympiakos a huge victory at Touma over PAOK with a 1-0 score,taking the Reds five points ahead of the champion one week before the end of the regular season.

Olympiakos and PAOK will fight it out next weekend for the top spot of the regular season in the Super League when they meet in Thessaloniki, with the Reds holding on to their two-point lead on Saturday.
