Asteras Tripolis – Levadiakos 0-0: Few chances, tension at the end
Asteras Tripolis and Levadiakos shared the points in a game with limited good moments and difficulty in creation. The visitors threatened with Popescu in the first half, while the hosts had a significant chance with Macheda, who was stopped by Eliasi.
Asteras tried to become more dangerous after the break, without finding a way to break through the opposing defense. The interest peaked in stoppage time, when Kaltsas sent the ball into the net. However, the goal was disallowed after a VAR check for a handball by Ricardinho in the phase and the 0-0 was maintained until the end.
The Arcadians reached six points, but did not utilize their home ground to move further away from the last places. Levadiakos climbed to three points, remaining without a win and without a goal after eight matchdays. Their defensive presence gave them a point, but the offensive problem remains the main issue.
Iraklis – Kifisia 2-3: Two answers and a comeback with Sagal
Kifisia left Kaftanzoglio with an important three points, in a match with five goals and continuous changes. Iraklis took the lead with a header from Tsaklas from Soria's cross, but Antonise equalized before the break.
The hosts took the lead again in the 54th minute, when Lopez capitalized on another cross from Soria with a header. Kifisia, however, found an answer again: Pombo equalized in the 77th minute with a beautiful finish and Sagal completed the comeback in the 86th minute, scoring with a header after a cross from Polykratis.
For Sebastian Leto's team, the gain was double: they reached 11 points and returned to winning ways, showing a reaction both times they were behind in the score. In contrast, Iraklis remained on nine points and missed the opportunity to utilize their two leads. The creation through Soria paid off, but the inability to maintain the score cost the hosts.
