Next season’s European competitions will be welcoming AEK along after the team secured its top four spot after beating Panathinaikos 1-0 on Sunday.
Joining them will be third placed Aris, despite the 2-0 loss to second placed PAOK over the weekend.
It was a fairly tame game between the two Athenian teams, with nothing more than three yellow cards dealt out in the first half.
AEK captain and striker Petros Mantalos raised the stakes in the second half with a goal in the 50th minute, giving the visitors a much needed lead.
The hosts attempted a goal to equalise during overtime but to no avail as Green’s forward Federico Macheda shot ended up hitting the post.
