Panathinaikos punished for derby violence

The league's disciplinary committee handed down the punishment on Friday after Panathinaikos's derby match against Olympiakos Piraeus at the Olympic Stadium last Saturday was abandoned after being interrupted twice by crowd trouble.

The league said the match would be recorded as a 3-0 loss for Panathinaikos who would also pay a fine of 252,500 euro for failing to maintain order at the game.

The club had already been in trouble with the Super League's disciplinary committee this season for crowd violence and were forced to play one match behind closed doors earlier this month.
