on Sunday but both sides have been overtaken by AEK, which beat Olympiakos Volou 1-0 at the Olympic Stadium.
Goals from Stefanos Athanasiadis and Nabil El Zhar gave the Thessaloniki side a good start the mini-league that will determine Greece's second representative to the Champions League, after champions Olympiakos.
The first half was a rather dull affair, with the two sides struggling with the strong wind at the Toumba Stadium.
The second half started with more passion from both sides and as the rain started coming down PAOK took the lead through a great close-range volley by Athanasiadis in the 57th minute.
PAOK doubled its lead in the 75th to throw the playoffs wide open through an El Zhar strike after a great through-ball by man of the match Adelino Vieirinha.
Panathinaikos could only pull one back four minutes later as the league's top scorer in the regular season, Djibril Cisse, headed in a Loukas Vyntra cross from the right.
Panathinaikos and PAOK are now tied on three points but AEK have four after their win against Olympiakos Volou.
The only goal of the game was scored by Leonardo from the penalty spot on 38 minutes.
AEK take on Panathinaikos in the Athens derby on Thursday, when Olympiakos Volou, who have 0 points, will host PAOK.
