ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Olympiakos stretched its league lead to four points Sunday with a 2-0 victory over Giannena thanks to first-half goals by David Fuster and Rafik Djebbour.
Olympiakos has played two games more than archrival Panathinaikos, which lies second.
Third-place AEK was beaten 1-0 at fourth-place Atromitos, missing a chance to overtake Panathinaikos.
In other games Sunday, PAOK won 2-0 at last-place Drama, while OFI vs. Kerkyra and Aris vs. Panaitolikos ended in scoreless draws.
Olympiakos took the lead in the 9th minute when Fuster beat goalkeeper Karim Fegrouche with a powerful left-foot shot from outside the area. The ball grazed the crossbar before entering the net.
Two minutes before halftime, Djebbour made it 2-0 off a cross by Yiannis Maniatis and a touch by Yiannis Fetfatzidis. It was the 9th goal of the season for Djebbour.
Olympiakos continued to dominate in the second half but its attacks were ineffective and Giannena appeared content to contain the margin of defeat. The visitors could have pulled back a goal in the 66th, when Maniatis passed sloppily back to his goalkeeper, but Ibrahima Bakayoko shot wide.
The league resumes play Jan. 3.
