PAOK won… the golden raspberry of the 22nd round as they were leading 2-0 in the 90th minute in Tripoli but lost 2-2 to Asteras in stoppage time. beat Levadeikos 3-0 and Panaitolikos 6-1 respectively, keeping the lead on par with trailblazer Panathinaikos, who on Sunday celebrated a big (with chagrin) 2-1 victory over Aris in Thessaloniki and yesterday formally ended his agreement with Aitor. The Spaniard signed a new contract until the summer of 2025, his salary more than doubled, and the Greens kept the option for another year. In the relegation battle, Lamia suffered a painful 4-1 home defeat to OFI and they are now chasing a miracle, possibly with Makis Havos on their bench in place of the retired Savvas Pantelidis.
