In a stadium where a lot happened a month ago, AEK beat Atromitos (1:0) and… hit the post again (there were two in the first half) and since yesterday has been enjoying the loneliness of the top (with +1 from Panathinaikos), waiting for Olympiacos in the regular season finals. If Enos wins the Sunday derby (19.00, OPAP Arena), they will finish first in the regular season, starting in the playoffs with an advantage and, in fact, turning ranking matches into a “race” for two (AEK, Panathinaikos), as they will go a few points not only from the “red-whites”, but also from PAOK.

The Yellow-Blacks absolutely dominated in Peristeri yesterday for 60 minutes. In the first half, besides Zuber’s winning goal in the 31st minute (the Swiss scored ten goals in 59 matches for AEK), the ball hit the post twice, scored by the referee Carantonis, with Sidibé at 21′ and Gacinovic at 43′. In the last half hour, Almeida players, suffering from fatigue, were threatened by the hosts, who came close to equalizing with Klonaridis (80 minutes) and Tsavida (87 minutes).

Thus, after the postponed game of the 21st game and taking into account that all teams now have 25 games, the standings are as follows: AEK 59, Panathinaikos 58, Olympiakos 53, PAOK 51, Volos 39, Aris 37, Atromitos 29 , Panaitolikos 28, OFI. 26, Asteras Trip. 25, PAS Ioannina 23, Lamia 16, Ionian 15, Levadeikos 14.

In Lamia, in a match that was postponed not once, but twice (due to bad weather and the tragedy at Tempe), PAOK, showing good football, “cleaned up” qualification for the Cup final, beating the local team with an impressive 5-1. Literally in the 13th second, Narey scored one of the fastest goals ever scored in Greek stadiums, with Constantelias making it 2-0 in the 25th minute after he started the action. In the second half, the “two-headed from the north” pursued the third goal to “block” qualification before Toumba’s rematch, and achieved it in the 62nd minute with a great goal from Augusto. Brandon (67′) and Sastre (69′) turned PAOK’s win into a triumph, with Martinez scoring the honorary goal for Lamia to make it 1-5 in the 86th minute.

PAOK easily beat Lamia 5-1 for the Cup, securing their place in the final of the competition.

Among the highlights of the match were Razvan Lucescu’s new complaints after it ended. The Romanian coach protested against VAR, but also responded with gestures to the Lamia fans.

Toumba’s second leg has yet to be scheduled but is likely to take place along with another semi-final between Olympiacos and AEK (3-0 in the first leg to AEK) on Clean Wednesday 12 April.

Bernard

With the help of a small operation that took place yesterday, Bernard solved the problem with renal colic, which prevented him from playing against Panaitolikos. The Brazilian has chances to play Sunday’s Atromitos-Panathinaikos game, with the expectation that he will be ready for the playoffs.
