Greek Cup draw is perfect for Panathinaikos
PAOK beat Pan Serraikos 2-0 to advance.
Cup favourites Panathinaikos were given the best possible draw for the quarterfinals on Friday, but may face PAOK in the semifinals later on.

The semifinals will be home-and-away ties.
The dates will be announced on Monday, but it has already been announced that the final will take place on Saturday, April 24.
The draw followed the second phase of Cup matches on Wednesday which saw PAOK, Panionios, Xanthi and PAS Yiannina join the lineup for the quarterfinals of soccer’s Greek Cup.
