ATHENS, Greece (AP) - AEK Athens, which has already secured the Greek title with one round to go, was held to a 0-0 draw at Kerkyra on Sunday.

The result, combined with Lamia's 2-1 victory over Giannena, meant Kerkyra was relegated to the second division.

AEK leads PAOK, 3-0 winner at Panathinaikos, by six points. PAOK, with its victory, clinched a place in next season's UEFA Champions League second qualifying round. AEK enters in the third qualifying round, needing to beat two opponents to reach the 32-team group stage.

Defending champion Olympiakos, winner of 19 of the previous 21 titles, beat Panetolikos 4-0 and is in third place, four points behind PAOK.

Olympiakos will play in the Europa League, alongside fourth-place Atromitos, 1-0 winner at Levadiakos, and a third team that will be either Asteras - a 2-1 winner over Apollon - or Xanthi, which beat Larissa 1-0.
