Super League

Lamia has for the first time in its history secured a spot in the top six of the Super League's regular season that lead to the playoffs, while all four table toppers continued with hard-fought victories, one way or another.

AEK and PAOK continued with victories at the top two spots of the Super League table over the weekend, but Panathinaikos dropped two points against bottom team Kifissia at home.

AEK faced sixth-placed Lamia away and won 3-1 on Saturday, courtesy of goals by Domagoj Vida, Niclas Eliasson and Steven Zuber. Sidcley Ferreira scored Lamia's consolation.

PAOK and AEK canceled each other out at Sunday's Super League top-of-the-table clash at Toumba, a result that has allowed Panathinaikos and Olympiakos to edge closer to the top with their convincing wins.

This marks the final week before the anticipated return to normalcy for Greek soccer. Following a two-month security ban on supporters at Super League 1 (SL1) matches, the nation's top division for soccer, gates are poised to reopen, with optimism that the new regulations against sports-related violence will instill order. 

PAOK left it late at Peristeri but beat Atromitos, while the biggest win of this round in the Super League belonged to Panathinaikos that downed Olympiakos in the Derby of Eternal Rivals on Sunday.

The Greens, just a few days after eliminating the Reds in the Cup, defeated Olympiakos 2-0 at the Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium in Turkish manager Fatih Terim's first derby win in Greece.

PAOK beat Panathinaikos on Sunday and is now alone on top of the Super League table, while the Greens have slumped to third after AEK's win over OFI.

The top-of-the-table clash in Thessaloniki had PAOK win 2-1 through a pair of Kiril Despodov goals. Greece captain Tasos Bakasetas had temporarily equalized for his first goal in the green jersey.

Seeking a bonus to his storied career as a player and coach in Turkey, Fatih Terim is facing his next challenge in neighboring Greece.

The restless 70-year-old took charge of Panathinaikos at the new year and his team next plays PAOK in Thessaloniki on Sunday. The two teams currently top the Super League with 44 points from 19 matches.

Super League leaders scored plenty of goals on Sunday in their comfortable wins that left the situation unchanged at the top of the table.

UEFA, European soccer's governing body, has sent a total of 23 files with evidence of dozens of suspect soccer matches in Greece to the Parliament's Committee on Cultural Affairs and the judiciary. 

State broadcaster ERT said the committee's chairman informed members on Wednesday about the existence of the files.

PAOK has joined Panathinaikos at the top of the Super League table after the Greens drew 2-2 at champion AEK on Sunday night.

The Athens derby at Nea Filadelfia had a dramatic finish, with AEK escaping defeat with a penalty kick deep into injury time.
