PAOK beat Olympiakos 1-0 behind closed doors at Toumba on Wednesday and advanced to the semifinals of the Greek Cup with a 2-1 aggregate score.
The Thessaloniki side had Dimitris Salpigidis to thank for their only goal, seen only by 200 fans who were allowed in the stadium, while hundreds of PAOK fans were outside
cheering on their team but contained by police.Salpigidis scored for PAOK at the 57th minute after a long period of pressure by the hosts in most of the first half and at the start of the second. A few minutes earlier he and Vieirinha had wasted two great chances.
Vladan Ivic headed the ball at the edge of the box to Salpigidis's path, who controlled the ball and slot it deftly past diving goalkeeper Antonis Nikopolidis.
Vieirinha had also missed PAOK's greatest opportunity just two minutes into the game when his effort hit the woodwork.
Olympiakos were left with 10 men at the 86th minute when Belgian striker Kevin Mirallas hit Ivic in the face to get a straight red card.
The Reds' biggest chance came at the 90th minute but the shot by Vassilis Torosidis was parried by PAOK keeper Costas Chalkias.
