Olympiacos edge towards Greek title

Olympiacos edged closer to the Greek Super League title tonight with a 7-2 thrashing of Asteras Tripoli. The home side are now ten points clear of arch-rivals Panathinaikos with just four games remaining. A win at Panetolikos next weekend, or a Pana slip up against Aris Salonika, will hand them their 39th league crown. The title announcement may be delayed, however, should Pana appeal the ruling on Friday which saw them docked three points after crowd trouble caused the abandonment of their match with Olympiacos last weekend. Olympiacos were also awarded a 3-0 victory. Kevin Mirallas scored four times for Olympiacos against Asteras, the first from the penalty spot, with Rafik Djebbour, Pablo Orbaiz and David Fuster also on target. PAOK Salonika stay fourth thanks to a 4-0 win at Kerkyra. Costin Lazar scored twice to add to strikes from Pablo Garcia and Stefanos Athanasiadis. A tenth-minute goal from Nikos Liberopoulos handed AEK Athens a 1-0 win over Panetolikos while Marinaldo da Silva, from the penalty spot, and Stefano Napoleoni grabbed the goals in Levadiakos' 2-0 victory at rock-bottom Doxa Dramas. Doxa played for 80 minutes with ten men after the dismissal of goalkeeper Konstantinos Davkos. Ergotelis had two men sent off at Giannina, but held on for a point in a 1-1 draw. Emiljano Vila put Giannina ahead and they looked on course for the win when the visitors' Egutu Oliseh and Giorgos Sarris both saw red. But the nine men grabbed a last-minute equaliser through Lefteris Gialousis.
