The “Trifylli” came out on top in a narrow game against Kifisia to go into the international break with a four-point lead in first, with Greece’s other top sides also earning important wins.

Panathinaikos beat Kifisia 0-1 away on Monday morning in the Greek Super League’s 11th round, continuing their strong form in the league following their disappointing European fixture midweek.

The Greens found the match’s lone goal in the 58th minute after a failed clearance afforded Daniel Mancini a chance to shoot with his left, the winger’s strike being parried by goalkeeper Alexandros Anagnostopoulos onto the left post before it went into the net.

The victory marks the league leaders’ fifth straight success (including the derby with Olympiacos that they have now officially been awarded as a 0-3 win for them), sending them into the upcoming break in good spirits.

A brace from captain Kostas Fortounis led Olympiacos to a 0-2 away triumph over Asteras Tripolis, lifting their morale following disappointment in Europe and the sanctions suffered from the Panathinaikos derby being upheld.

The Piraeus giants took the lead in the 69th minute, courtesy of their star playmaker, who scored from long range just five minutes after coming off the bench.

Fortounis wrapped up the contest with a second goal late into the piece (90+6’), hitting the ball into an empty net.

AEK bagged a 3-0 victory against Lamia at “Agia Sophia” Stadium to remain level on points with Olympiacos.

Enosi gained the advantage in the 10th minute of the clash through striker Levi Garcia, who scored his first goal of the season, with captain Sergio Araujo making it two (36’) before the end of the first half.

Playmaker Petros Mantalos put the game to bed with a final goal in the deep into injury time, converting his penalty to polish off a great outing for the hosts.

PAOK came from behind to earn a 2-1 win over Panetolikos at “Toumba” Stadium, maintaining their position among the other sides at the top of the ladder.

The Agrinio side managed to sneak ahead in the 20th minute after a cross from the right was volleyed in by defender Pedro Silva, his strike deflecting off a defender on its way into the net.

The Thessaloniki side drew level just six minutes later as striker Mbawana Samatta flicked the ball in behind himself from close range, and they soon went in front themselves when winger Andrija Zivkovic’s cross from the right side went over the keeper and into the goal (36’).

This proved to be the final decisive moment of the match, with PAOK successfully building on last week’s impressive victory against Olympiacos.

Aris sealed a 0-2 away triumph over Volos on Sunday morning to record their third win from their last four outings.

The “yellow-blacks” took the lead on the hour mark after striker Loren Moron calmly struck his penalty kick into the bottom left, with midfielder Vladimir Darida securing the points soon after with an effort from inside the box (75’).

Atromitos rescued a point at the death in their 1-1 home draw to Panserraikos, continuing their recent upturn in form that has seen them escape from the relegation zone.

The Serres club found the back of the net first, thanks to a goal from winger Zisis Chatzistravos into the bottom right (40’), though the Peristeriotes would cancel it out in the contest’s dying minutes via a header from substitute Karol Angielski (90+4’).

OFI was forced to settle for a 1-1 draw at home to Giannina, extending their winless run to four matches.

The Cretans went ahead just 35 seconds into the game through a strong shot from right back Nikolaos Marinakis into the bottom left.

OFI held onto the lead for over 80 minutes when centre half Rodrigo Erramuspe equalised for the Epirutans, heading the ball from a cross into the right side of the net (86’).

While Giannina will be pleased at getting a point, they will be disappointed at failing to snap their winless streak which is now at 11 matches in all competitions.
