“Europeans” show no mercy; Ilysiakos moves from ground zero

December 19, 2022

After the 12th round of the Greek League, there are no teams with no points.

Ilysiakos, which suffered 11 losses in the first 11 rounds, finally took a point. It secured a 9:9 draw in the game against Glyfada, thanks to two late goals.

The Champions League clubs, Olympiacos and Vouliagmeni, recorded big wins before new European challenges. They firmly hold top spots in their groups.

Panionios, the LEN Euro Cup quarterfinalist, was also very convincing in the 12th round.

Besides Olympiacos, Vouliagmeni and Panionios, Apollon SMyrnis will represent Greece in the LEN cups in the second part of the season. Apollon, the LEN Challenger Cup semifinalist, recorded a big win, as well as the other “Europeans”, downing Peristeri.
