Olympiakos will go into next weekend's top-of-the-table clash with Panathinaikos behind the Greens in the Super League table after throwing away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with PAS Yiannina thanks two goals from the home side in the last seven minutes of Saturday's game. The champions are one point behind Panathinaikos who play Asteras Tripolis on Sunday after their draw in northwestern Greece.
It had all started well for the Piraeus club with Michal Zewlakow opening the scoring with a powerful header from a free kick.
Costas Mitroglou, fresh from his debut for Greece a week earlier, doubled Olympiakos's lead in the 80th minute when he finished coolly in a one-on-one situation with the home keeper Dimitris Eleftheropoulos.
At that point, it looked like Zico's men would put the disappointment of a home draw against Iraklis two weeks ago behind them but again they were caught cold by a late comeback.
PAS struck back in the 83rd minute with a shot from outside the area from Christos Tzanis and in the 90th minute Ibrahima Bakayoko stooped to equalize with a header.
Olympiakos coach Zico will now be looking for nothing less than all three points against Panathinaikos at the Karaiskaki Stadium on Sunday.
Saturday also proved a disappointing day for AEK, who were beaten 2-1 at Kavala.
Sinisa Dobrasinovic opened the scoring for the home side in the 55th penalty after the referee awarded a controversial penalty.
Midfielder Savvas Gentzoglou replied in the 68th minute for the visitors but AEK were not able to hold on and five minutes from time when Apostolos Giannou popped up to grab a second for high-flying Kavala who move up to third on 18 points, the same as PAOK who play on Sunday. AEK are in fifth place on 15 points.
In Saturday's other game, Xanthi beat Levadiakos 1-0. The only goal of the game was scored by Argentinean Mauro Poy with a close-range finish in the 10th minute.
Levadiakos remain in the drop zone on eight points. Xanthi move up 10th with 13 points.
