Panathinaikos opens clear lead at the top of the table

Panathinaikos established sole leadership of the Greek Stoiximan Super League following the conclusion of matchday 4 on Sunday, 13 September 2026. The Athens club hosted fellow early-season front-runner Panetolikos in a top-of-the-table meeting, securing a victory recorded across reports as either 3-0 or 2-0. With this result, Panathinaikos extended its perfect record to four victories from four matches in the campaign, taking its points tally to 12. Panetolikos entered the fixture tied on points at the top of the standings but suffered its first defeat of the season. The result dropped Panetolikos into third position with nine points, leaving Panathinaikos with an outright three-point lead over the rest of the 14-team division.
