The Greek derby between Panathinaikos and Olympiacos at the Athens Olympic Stadium was abandoned on Sunday due to crowd trouble.

Deep inside the second half as their team were losing 1-0, Panathinaikos fans clashed with police who responded by throwing tear gas. Players rushed off the field to protect themselves.
