El-Arabi all but seals title for Olympiakos

The restart of the Super League with the new-look playoffs, after soccer's three-month freeze, saw Olympiakos all but clinching the title with a 1-0 win at champion PAOK on Sunday.

Having completed its regular season before the lockdown started in March, the Super League only had the playoffs and the playouts to get over with for the season to end. The restart of the games, even without any fans at the stands, was quite satisfactory, with some very competitive games and adequate action. After all Greece has been more used to playing behind closed doors than other countries.

The big game of the weekend pitted leader Olympiakos with second-placed PAOK in Thessaloniki. The match was decided by a 23rd-minute tap-in by Youssef El-Arabi after a Mathieu Valbuena cross from the right.

This has placed Olympiakos 17 points ahead of PAOK with nine playoff rounds of games...
