Panathinaikos beat Drama 1-0

Panathinaikos have kept their five-point lead over Olympiakos at the top of the Greek league with a 1-0 win over last-placed Drama.

Toche scored a close-range goal in the 58th minute on Sunday.

Visiting PAOK beat AEK 2-0 for their first victory at Athens’ Olympic Stadium since March 1999, overtaking their opponent for third place, 13 points behind Panathinaikos.

Also on Sunday, Asteras beat Atromitos 1-0, Giannena defeated Panaitolikos 1-0 and Aris beat Levadiakos 2-1.

Olympiakos beat Ergotelis 3-0 on Saturday.

Panathinaikos were missing league top-scorer Sebastian Leto due to injury but almost scored in the 4th when Toche had a goal controversially disallowed for offside after a deep pass from Costas Katsouranis.

Drama came close in the 20th when Amvrosios Papadopoulos released Leonidas Kyvelidis, who beat Panathinaikos’ offside trap but was denied by goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis.

In the 58th, former Arsenal winger Quincy Owusu-Abeyie crossed from the right, Katsouranis failed to connect but Toche was there to push the ball into the net for his fifth goal this season.

Toche wasted a clear chance in the 73rd after shooting over the bar.
