Panathinaikos could not have expected a better final in the first round of the championship. The Greens were the big winners of the 13th round, as after their own victory over Atromitos 2-0 at Leoforos and the Whites’ draw in the derby between Olympiakos and AEK, they saw the difference between Enos and promotion up to 8, and the “red-white” up to 12 points.

Midway through the regular season, Panathinaikos laid the groundwork for a title win for the first time since the 2009/10 season. Ivan Jovanovic’s team came out of the first round with 12 wins and only one draw, having both the best attack with 24 goals and the best defense, conceding only 4 (+20 difference).

Second in the standings, AEK scored 23 goals and conceded 5 goals, PAOK 19-10, and Olympiacos 18-8.

The numbers show that Panathinaikos is just coincidentally not at the top, although of course the road is still long and difficult, as there is also a play-off. On the other hand, AEK, second in the standings, has changed its competitive image since entering its home, it plays spectacular football and seems, despite an eight-point difference, the most immediate threat to Panathinaikos. .

One of the positive moments of the first round of the championship is the fact that Greek Nikos Karelis from Panaitolikos is at the top of the scorers table with 9 goals.

Yesterday OFI took a breather over Levadeyakov (2-1) and Asteras over Ionikos (1-0).

Of course, all teams are facing an unprecedented situation, as it is not known how they will be affected by the break in the World Cup, which resumes on December 21st.

As for the matches of the 13th round, one of the best derbies of the year took place in Faliro, and only a goal was missing, as Olympiacos and AEK remained at a score of 0:0. “Union” controlled the situation for most of the match and missed important moments, and in the second half the hosts saw the goal of Hames, not counted due to offside at the beginning of the phase. At Leoforos, Panathinaikos beat Atromitos 2-0. Fotis Ioannidis again gave the Greens the decision by opening the scoring in the 80th minute, while Magnusson made it 2-0 in the 3rd minute of injury time.

In the rest of the matches, PAOK had no difficulty against Volos at Toumba as they won 3-0, Aris who scored 4 goals in the second half won 4-0 against PAS Giannina at Zosimades and Panaitolikos won with a score of 3:1 Lamia in Athanassios Diakos. This game was the last for Gianluca Festa on the home bench, as PAE announced the mutual termination of cooperation with the Italian coach.

Finally, yesterday Asteras beat Ionikos 1:0 (18′ Sito) and dropped them to last place, while OFI achieved a huge victory with a 2:1 margin (Neira 74′, Durmisai 82′ – Durmisai -aut.- 2′ ) Levadeacus.
