PANATHINAIKOS could face serious punishment after their fans forced the abandonment of the Athens derby yesterday.
Home supporters battled with riot police in the Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium pitch before Panathinaikos v Olympiakos was called off.
Olympiakos striker Alfred Finnbogason was hit by a flare and dashed off the field, followed by his team-mates.

The game was called off 30 minutes before kick-off - a decision that caused fans to invade the field.
Around 50 people were arrested outside the ground before the violence continued on the terraces.
Olympiakos fans were not at the match as away supporters are banned in the Greek Superleague.
Premier League side Arsenal are in the same Champions League group as Olympiakos and play in Greece next month.
