Panathinaikos were deducted three points by the Greek Super League for fan violence before the recent Athens derby with Olympiakos which had to be called off before kick-off. Panathinaikos were also fined 190,000 euros and instructed to play four home matches behind closed doors, while the league handed Olympiakos a 3-0 victory for the disrupted match.
The deduction means that Panathinaikos, who have the right to appeal, now sit in fifth place with 19 points, 17 points behind league leaders Olympiakos. Referee Andreas Pappas made the decision to call off the match on November 21 after taking into account the violence both inside and outside the Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium.
