Xanthi and Kerkyra was reserved for stoppage time, which saw two red cards, a missed penalty and a goal.
Nigerian defender Adefemi Olubayo gave Xanthi the lead on 31 minutes with a long range shot but the home side's advantage was cancelled out 10 minutes later when Denis Epstein scored a penalty.
But the action did not really begin until the first minute of second half injury time, when Kerkyra lost Tassos Venetis to a red card. A minute later the visitors' Ilias Ioannou was also sent off and the referee awarded a hotly disputed penalty to the home side.
George Boateng saw his spot kick parried away but the ball was pushed back across the goal line and Spyros Vallas slid in to give all three points to Xanthi with a 2-1 win.
Xanthi join Iraklis in seventh place while Kerkyra remain on 30 points in 11th.
