The first round of the Stoiximan Super League playoffs concluded with a change at the top of the ranking.
AEK, initially ranked second, surged to the top position, now holding a two-point lead over PAOK.
Under the guidance of Matthias Almeyda, the team secured a convincing 4-0 victory against Lamia at the “Athanasios Diakos” stadium, reclaiming their position at the summit.
Levai Garcia scored two goals, while Ponce and Kalens each netted one. Sotiris Tsiloulis did not play for Lamia as he has signed with AEK and will also miss the match in Nea Filadelfeia.
There was also a change in the third position. Panathinaikos defeated Olympiacos 3-1 at the “G. Karaiskakis” stadium, which was celebrating its 99th anniversary, and pushed them down to fourth place (and -2).
Olympiacos scored early with Ponce, but Bakasetas equalized, and Fotis Ioannidis gave Panathinaikos the lead before the referee blew the halftime whistle.
