The big derby between the “eternal” Olympiacos and Panathinaikos, contrary to the paraphilology of the days, found the “red-white” winners with a score of 1: 0, and the championship, except for the shocking prospect, goes to AEK, who defeated Kleantis Vikelidis” 2-1. A three-point split and just a draw next Sunday at the OPAP Arena against Volos is enough to win the 2022-23 season championship and 13th overall in its history.

Mathias Almeida’s team has the opportunity to end this successful year with a double win by winning the Greek Cup in the final against PAOK.

Worried and affected by the Covid-19 that has plagued the team over the past 24 hours, Panathinaikos rightfully lost to the best Olympiacos in G. Karaiskakis”.

In the first half, there were no big phases in Faliro: the guests focused on defense and gave the ball to the hosts, who in the 12th minute threatened a shot by Huang, who went high.

The second half began with an Olympiacos goal by El Araby, who replaced Bakaba. Embila put the ball to him, he hit the spot, but the ball stopped on the post.

In ’68, the Red-Whites found their way to the net when, after a great partnership between Fortunis and Rodinea, he turned around and Reabchuk scored.

In ’72, the Greens had a chance to equalize, but their shot was stopped at the crossbar by Tsolakis, and in injury time they had a great chance to equalize with Kleinscheisler.

With a twist from the first half

Although Aris took the lead early (19 minutes) with Grey’s accurate penalty, a penalty won by Mateo from Pinedas and shown by referee Fotias with VAR, the score was quickly leveled.

In the 23rd minute, Thomas Van Weert, who played at the base after 4.5 months, replacing Levi Garcia, who felt unwell before the start of the match and was excluded from the team, took advantage of Pineda’s ball and made it 1:1 with a spot kick.

AEK, who had been better during the first 45 minutes, went into the dressing room earlier thanks to a goal from Zuber in the 43rd minute, who sent the ball into Questa’s corner after Simanski’s pass.

In the 65th minute, AEK had a chance to score three goals, but Van Werth’s shot was blocked by Questa’s crossbar.

Victory at Volos and Reason at Olympiacos

PAOK didn’t face much trouble in Volos, easily beating the local team 2-0 and also managing to get ahead of the last game against Olympiacos where they only want a win to finish third and qualify for the Europa League.

Despite the many throwouts that Lucescu’s team faced, they dominated the first half, taking the lead in the 28th minute with Zivkovic, heading Brandon’s crossbar in the 36th minute, and in stoppage time also gained a numerical advantage when Pires was sent off from the field for a hard tackle by Zhivkovic.

In 57th, Brandon’s beautiful header from Schwab’s excellent turn formed the final score.
