AEK enjoyed another helpful refereeing performance, which refused a Panathinaikos penalty while the score was 1-1, allowed their ultra-physical game to go unpunished (no wonder they break records of penalties commited in Europe since they're used that anything flies in Greece), and overall assisted the mediocre champions to salvage a point with a penalty in added time. Panathinaikos had taken the lead twice from two set pieces with their CBs as scorers, but in the end didn't find their first derby win.
- Olympiacos was involved in another clown fiesta of a match, since their daily statements (bordering threats) on the Federation are a declaration of war and the Federation (and its sponsor) answers in kind: referee Manouchos (who tried to award AEK a match last year by claiming Atromitos' stadium goalposts were short) and VAR Papadopoulos took bottom Kifisia by the hand and fought tooth and nail to give them a point. First with 2 strict yellows to Olympiacos CB Retsos (of the kind the Federation's favourite team never gets), then by not doing a VAR check in Kifisia's first goal, then again not doing an on-screen VAR check in an Olympiacos 1-3 goal but cancelling it for a handball, and after Kifisia's equaliser cancelling another Olympiacos goal by putting the VAR lines to the wrong defenders - 2 Kifisia defenders are...offside from where they put the lines. The captain of the red-and-whites said that after this instance owner Marinakis asked them to leave, but the players convinced him to continue and scored the winning goal that could not be cancelled in the 85th minute. Olympiacos sued the referees and declared they will sue every referee from now on until the government sacks the Federation.
