Video: Reds close to title (Olympiakos Peir. vs Ergotelis Crete 3-0 )

Olympiakos moved to within two wins of clinching the Super League title by beating Ergotelis on Sunday, as Panathinaikos were humbled by Larissa and AEK thrashed PAOK.
The Reds struggled during the first half at the Karaiskaki Stadium and the visitors from Crete missed a golden opportunity to take the lead after half an hour of play when Sergio Leal Gonzalez saw his penalty saved by Urko Pardo.
Olympiakos started the second half more convincingly and took the lead within two minutes thanks to Francois Modesto. Marko Pantelic added a second on 58 minutes and Kevin Mirallas made it 3-0 in the 66th minute.
The game was played behind closed doors as part of the punishment that the Piraeus club received for the pitch invasion that followed its derby win over Panathinaikos in February.
The win put Olympiakos on 64 points after 25 games. The Reds are now 13 points clear of rivals Panathinaikos.
