Panathinaikos defeated AEK 2‑0 in the Athens derby, ending the champions’ 31‑game unbeaten streak in the Greek Super League. The match, played at the Olympic Stadium, saw Panathinaikos take a 1‑0 lead in the 33rd minute when Santino Andino capitalised on a mistake by Lazaros Rota to set up Andreas Tetteh, who scored. Andino added a second goal on the 49th minute with a precise shot. AEK played more than 20 minutes with ten men but could not mount a comeback. The result leaves Panathinaikos two points clear at the top of the table, ahead of Olympiakos, which won 3‑2 at Kifissia after a late equaliser. Olympiakos had earlier lost a 2‑0 lead when Gerson Sanches and Jordi Mboula levelled the score, before Gelson Martins secured the win. PAOK moved to third place with a 2‑1 victory over Asteras Tripolis, while Levadiakos recorded a 3‑0 win at Aris and OFI beat Panetolikos 1‑0. Panathinaikos now have 24 points, Olympiakos 22, PAOK 18, AEK 17 with a game in hand, followed by Aris and OFI with 16. AEK will host Real Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday.}
