Greek Cup cancelled by Greek government after crowd violence in semi-final

This season's Greek Cup has been cancelled by the government after the semi-final first leg between PAOK Salonika and Olympiakos was abandoned because of crowd violence. PAOK fans threw flares and clashed with riot police after their team was denied a penalty with Olympiakos leading 2-1. Greece's deputy minister for sport Stavros Kontonis recommended the suspension of all competitive football.
'In view of this mayhem in football grounds and a huge disturbance of the social peace and legal order in general, the government has decided to definitively cancel any process and match related to the Greek Cup as provided for by the law,' a government statement read.
But the Super League and other professional leagues will continue.
