ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Abdul Jeleel Ajagun's close-range shot in the 82nd minute allowed Panathinaikos to escape with a 1-1 draw at Platanias in the Greek league Sunday.

Ajagun scored 11 minutes after his league debut as a substitute. Thomas Nazlidis had opened the scoring with a header from a corner kick in first-half injury time.

Panathinaikos now has five points after four rounds, seven behind leader Olympiakos, the only team with a perfect record. Platanias has four draws in as many games and has never trailed.

Three of the day's other four games — Panionios vs. Panthrakikos, OFI vs. Asteras and Aris vs. Levadiakos — also ended 1-1. The sole winner, top division first-timer Kalloni, beat host Apollon 3-1 to join PAOK in second place, three points behind Olympiakos.
