PAOK

Suspected supporters of PAOK soccer club vandalized four public buses on Sunday evening in Thessaloniki, northern Greece.

The incident occurred on Line 14, which was transporting fans to the Toumba Stadium for the match against AEK Athens.

Police are currently investigating to identify the perpetrators responsible for the damage.

Olympiakos and AEK were the clear winners of the midweek Super League fixtures, as the Reds preserved their unbeaten record and extended their lead to nine points at the top, while the Yellows have suddenly climbed to the second spot.

PAOK celebrated on Sunday, and well into Monday morning, the third league title in its history, and the first after 34 years on a historic night at Toumba Stadium of Thessaloniki.

When Greek league rivals AEK Athens and PAOK Thessaloniki met last season, a disallowed goal late in the match - which was, finally, allowed - threw the sport into chaos.

After a long delay the Disciplinary Committee of the Super League decided on Thursday to issue its verdict on the abandoned game between PAOK and AEK, slapping PAOK with point deductions, stadium ban, fines and suspensions to top PAOK officials.

Sunday's events at Toumba Stadium in Thessaloniki will have repercussions well beyond the soccer pitch, as the law dictates that the action will now unfold in the country's sports and criminal courts. What is at issue here is not just be the fate of PAOK, but also the pitch invasion by its armed owner, Ivan Savvidis - a tangible illustration of the oligarch's belief that he is above the law.

The referee of the abandoned PAOK vs AEK game for the Super League on Sunday wrote in his match report that he changed his mind again in the locker room and decided that the controversial PAOK goal should stand, but added that he stopped the game due to the pitch invasion by PAOK owner Ivan Savvidis. The league is likely to be suspended indefinitely now.

A 27-year-old man was arrested late on Sunday accused of hurling the till roll that struck Olympiakos manager Oscar Garcia on Sunday at PAOK's Toumba Stadium in Thessaloniki that forced the referee not to start the game between the two teams. The Spanish coach left hospital on Monday.

A Thessaloniki hospital confirmed on Sunday night that Olympiakos manager Oscar Garcia will not leave it before Monday morning, following his injury by a till roll at Toumba Stadium that forced the cancelation of the match between PAOK and Olympiakos for the Super League.

Two groups have expressed an interest in the first stage of the tender by Gaiaose for the utilization of the 670,000-square meter plot the railway property company controls at the old Gonou military camp in western Thessaloniki.
