[01] Olympiakos wins football title despite loss
Olympiakos Piraeus on Sunday won its ninth first division football
championship in the last 10 years even though it lost 2-1 to Larissa,
with only two weeks' of play remaining before the 2005-2006 season
ends.
Olympiakos was assured of the title when previously second-place
Panathinaikos lost earlier on Sunday to Iraklis Thessaloniki 1-0 away,
while AEK Athens' easy home victory over relegation candidate OFI Crete
means that it can only hope to equal Olympiakos' points tally, although
it would still lose out because of its head-to-head record with
Olympiakos.
AEK's win, combined with Panathinaikos' loss, means the former gains a
significant edge in the second-place race to earn a spot in a Champions
League playoff round.
