[01] Snow plagues Super LeagueOlympiakos Piraeus returned to the top of the Greek first division (Super League) football standings over the weekend with a 1-0 victory at home on Saturday over top relegation candidate Ergotelis Crete, as rivals Panathinaikos Athens and AEK Athens remained idle on Sunday after their games were cancelled due to snow-covered pitches. Olympiakos picked up the win over a feisty Ergotelis side with a rebound into the net in the 27th minute after a penalty kick -- following a controversial referee's call -- was blocked by the visiting team's keeper.Results of other matches played over the weekend: Larissa - Panionios Athens 1-0 OFI Crete - Veria 3-0 Apollon Kalamarias - PAOK Thessaloniki 0-2 Aris Thessaloniki - Asteras Tripoli 2-0 AEK - Xanthi cancelled Levadiakos - Iraklis Thessaloniki cancelled Atromitos Athens - Panathinaikos cancelled Standings after 21 weeks of play: Olympiakos 47 (20 games) Panathinaikos 46 points (20 games) AEK 42 (20 games) Aris 35 Asteras 32 Xanthi 31 (20 games) PAOK 29 Panionios 28 Larissa 28 Iraklis 23 (20 games) OFI 23 Atromitos 22 (20 games) Levadiakos 18 (20 games) Veria 17 Kalamaria 16 (20 games) Ergotelis 14 Caption: A football lies in the middle of the snow-covered pitch at Athens' Olympic Stadium (OAKA) on Sunday, Feb. 17, 2008.
