ATHENS, Greece - Abdoul Camara and Zvonimir Vukic scored in the second half to lead PAOK to a 2-0 victory over Panathinaikos in the Greek league Sunday.

Panathinaikos played a man short from the 39th minute onward after Pape Sow received a second yellow card for a rough tackle.

Victory left PAOK in third place with four rounds to play, a point behind Asteras, which won 2-0 at fourth-place Atromitos. PAOK is 17 behind leader Olympiakos, which won 1-0 at last-place Kerkyra.

Olympiakos clinched its 40th league championship last Sunday. Panathinaikos is sixth, three points adrift of fifth-place Giannena, a 2-0 winner over Aris on Saturday.

Teams that finish the regular season from second to fifth place will play in home-and-away playoffs, with the winner joining the champion in next season's Champions League.
