ATHENS, Greece (AP) -- Oscar Gonzalez scored one goal and set up another Saturday as Olympiakos beat host Levadiakos 3-0 to take the overnight lead in the Greek league.

Brazilian duo Diogo and Dudu added goals in the first half to give Olympiakos 16 points from six games, one point ahead of Panathinaikos, which hosts Larissa Monday.

Only three games were played Saturday, with the other five scheduled for Monday because of Greek general elections Sunday.

Olympiakos had a comfortable afternoon at Levadiakos, taking an early lead when Oscar scored in the fifth minute after taking a pass from Ieroklis Stoltidis.

The hosts had a good chance to level in the 25th, when a blistering shot by Paulo Costa forced goalkeeper Antonis Nikopolidis to punch the ball away.

In the 28th, goalkeeper Srdan Blazic fouled Costas Mitroglou in his area and Dudu converted the penalty to give Olympiakos a 2-0 lead.

Oscar then fed Diogo inside the Levadiakos area in the 41st to complete the scoring.

Also Saturday, it was: Panthrakikos 1, Aris 1; and Giannena 2, Kavala 1.

On Monday it's: Asteras vs. Ergotelis, Panionios vs. Atromitos, PAOK vs. Iraklis, Xanthi vs. AEK and Panathinaikos vs. Larissa.
