Peristeri added another major scalp to its collection this year, as after beating champion Panathinaikos a few weeks ago it defeated Olympiakos too on Wednesday, with the Reds appearing to sink into decay.

The draw for the Greek Cup quarterfinals was rather kind to the three favorites, keeping them apart in the round of games to be played next month.

The biggest match from Friday's process has been the pairing of Atromitos with last year's champion AEK, with the first leg to take place in Peristeri. Another interesting tie will be that of Panionios with holder PAOK.

Olympiakos will return to Xanthi for a third time this season as it has drawn the local team in the round of 16 of the Greek Cup, while Panathinaikos will get the chance to avenge last year's elimination by Lamia.
