ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Second-place PAOK needed a 74th minute equalizer from Tomas Necid to salvage a 1-1 draw at OFI in the Greek league on Sunday.

Alexandros Perogamvrakis had given OFI the lead in the 15th minute.

The draw allowed defending champion Olympiakos, a 2-0 winner at Panionios Saturday, to extend its lead at the top over PAOK to three points.

Panathinaikos, which beat Asteras 2-1 at home Sunday, is a further two points back in third place.

Also Sunday, Giannena beat Xanthi 2-1, Apollon came back from a goal down to prevail 4-2 over Levadiakos and last-place Aris was held to a scoreless draw by visiting Panetolikos.

On Monday, Platanias hosts Panthrakikos and Atromitos travels to newcomer Kalloni, which seeks to reclaim third place with a win.
