Panionios lost its perfect record at Livadia on Saturday as it went down to host Levadiakos 3-0 on Sunday. The score had already taken its final shape from the 17th minute after two goals by Stelios Vassiliou and one by Giorgos Zisopoulos.

PAOK returned from Xanthi with a 3-0 win over the home team that saw its coach, Marinos Ouzounidis resign after the match. Stefanos Athanasiadis, Bertrand Robert and Costin Lazar scored for the Thessaloniki club.

Also on Saturday, Asteras Tripolis beat Platanias 2-1 at home, courtesy of goals by Ruben Rayos and Emanuel Perrone.

On Sunday Aris and Veria scored their first wins, beating visiting Kerkyra and PAS Giannina respectively by the same score, 1-0, while OFI saw off the once-mighty AEK with a 2-1 score at home.

On Monday Panathinaikos hosts Atromitos at Livadia, as the Olympic Stadium is not available for the game due to a Greek pop concert.
