Greek: PAOK Thessaloniki beats Larissa, moves into second

ATHENS, Greece (AP) -- Ibrahima Bakayoko scored a second-half goal Sunday to lead PAOK Thessaloniki to a 1-0 win over Larissa and move into outright second in the Greek league.

After a quiet first half, PAOK became more aggressive and Bakayoko scored off a corner by substitute Vassilis Lakis in the 73rd minute.

PAOK has 22 points, four behind leader Olympiakos, which won 3-0 at Iraklis on Saturday.

Xanthi, which drew 1-1 with Aris, has 20 points, one more than Panathinaikos, which beat newcomer Thrasivoulos 3-0 Saturday.

On the island of Crete, Pandelis Kaffes equalized in the 86th minute as AEK Athens drew 1-1 with OFI. Giannis Taralidis had given OFI the lead from a cross by Aleksandar Simic in the 75th.

The game was Dusan Bajevic's first in his third stint as AEK coach after returning last week following a four-year absence.

AEK stayed fifth with 16 points, while OFI is next to last with eight points.

Also Sunday, it was: Asteras 3, Ergotelis 1; and Panionios 1, Levadiakos 0.
