AEK holds lead in Super League after draw and PAOK victory

During the third matchday of the Stoiximan Super League playoffs, AEK Athens drew 0-0 against Panathinaikos at Leoforos Stadium. The match saw Panathinaikos play with ten men from the 17th minute following the red card of Javi Hernandez. Despite AEK's numerical advantage, the team failed to score against the home side. Meanwhile, PAOK defeated Olympiacos 3-1 at Toumba Stadium in a concurrent playoff fixture. Following these results, AEK leads the table with 67 points, six points ahead of both PAOK and Olympiacos, who are tied at 61 points. Panathinaikos remains in fourth place with 51 points and is mathematically excluded from competing for higher positions. AEK can secure its 14th championship title next week if they beat Panathinaikos at Nea Filadelfeia and the match between Olympiacos and PAOK ends in a draw.
