Aris is the new leader of the Super League as AEK and PAOK canceled each other out on Sunday, meaning the two Thessaloniki teams are hand-in-hand at the top of the table.

Champion PAOK led at AEK, but the hosts equalized within 10 minutes for a 1-1 final score in a very entertaining game at the OPAP Arena.

PAOK came from behind to beat leader AEK on Sunday and set up a tense finish to the Super League playoffs, while Panathinaikos blew its chance against Aris and Olympiakos is now in with a chance of its own for the title. Meanwhile, Kifissia has been relegated.

PAOK and Olympiakos produced historic reversals of their poor results a week earlier to win handsomely on Thursday in the return leg games and advance to the quarterfinals of the Europa Conference League. That was a rare night of glory in Europe for Greek soccer this season.

PAOK thrashed Dinamo Zagreb 5-1 in Toumba and overturned its 2-0 deficit from seven nights earlier.

Lamia inflicted a shocking loss on Olympiakos at the start of the new year in the Super League, while the other three title rivals scored comfortable home wins.
