The final was played at a neutral venue, Panthessaliko Stadium in the northern city of Volos, without spectators in line with government health protocols brought on by the coronavirus epidemic.
Saturday's contest was marred by violence hours before the match when dozens of AEK supporters tried to approach the hotel hosting the Olympiakos team, only to be turned away by police using tear gas.

PSG supporters post homophobic banner photo ahead of PSG-OM
The Ultras Paris Collective (CUP), the main group of fans of the capital club, posted on Twitter this photo of a banner "PSG-OM: 9 years of organized gang sodomy" on the Bir-Hakeim bridge, in front of the Eiffel Tower.
Rouge Direct, which fights against homophobia in the world of football, denounced on the same social network a "homophobic insult" and "unacceptable".
Homophobia in the stadiums: "It is only in football that I hear these words", laments Olivier Rouyer
"Impunity in the face of homophobia in football only feeds it. On March 17, 2019, there were homophobic insults during a PSG-OM in the presence of the minister," said the spokesperson for the collective Julien Pontes at AFP.

Burdy after the game, the police used a smoothbore gun. 23 detainees
They tugged at the fence separating them from the policemen, then hurled the uniforms with stones, bottles and other dangerous objects. The policemen used manual gas throwers, truncheons, roaring grenades and a water cannon. They also fired warning shots from rubber bullet weapons.
23 hooligans were detained by policemen securing the Sunday match of the 3rd football league between Polonia Bytom and Ruch Chorzów. They will be responsible for participating in the gathering, and some of them will also be responsible for the active assault and insulting the policemen as well as for the attack on the opposing team’s fan.
During brawls in front of the stadium, bottles and stones flew in uniformed clothes, the police used, among others, gas throwers, water cannons, roaring grenades and smoothbore weapons.
700 in the stands, 2,500 in front of the stadium According to the Silesian police on Monday, the match in Bytom was secured by over 250 officers from this city, as well as by uniforms from the police department and sub-units from Katowice, Częstochowa and Bielsko-Biała, and the mounted police of Częstochowa.
About 700 fans of Polonia Bytom entered the match, while about 2,500 supporters of Ruch Chorzów gathered in front of the stadium – even though the game was held without the participation of the visitors’ fans.
– Unfortunately, some of the people gathered in front of the stadium did not come to support their team culturally. Instead of cheering in the spirit of fair play, aggressive people tried to cause a conflict with the policemen securing the sporting event. It is all the more reprehensible that among the fans gathered near the stadium there were also small children brought by their parents and guardians. Despite this, some people decided to cause a brawl and clashes with uniformed and other fans – described the press team of the Silesian police.
23 detainees The brawls began at the end of the second half. First, the hooligans of the Movement began to tear at the fence separating them from the policemen, and after a while they threw stones, bottles and other dangerous objects on the uniforms. To stop the attack, the policemen used handheld gas throwers, batons, roaring grenades, and a water cannon. They also fired warning shots from rubber bullet weapons. Only then did the hooligans start to withdraw towards the parking lots of one of the shopping centers.
The intervention ended with the arrest of 22 hooligans of Ruch Chorzów and one hooligan of Polonia Bytom. Detainees are men aged 17 to 44, residents of, among others Chorzów and Ruda Śląska and other cities in the province. Śląskie, Małopolskie, Dolnośląskie and Wielkopolskie, there is also an 18-year-old girl from Bytom among them.
According to the police, all the detained hooligans of Ruch Chorzów will be responsible for active participation in the gathering in front of the stadium, and some also for the active attack on and insulting the policemen, and two of them also for the attack on the Bytom Polonia fan. An 18-year-old will also be responsible for the active attack on policemen. The prosecutor’s office and the court will decide on the fate of the detained.

Poland : Lodz local home fans attacked - 09/09/2020
In Lodz, the trial of 62 Widzew hooligans, named DHW, started. Hooligans are followed for drugs, conspiracy and violence from 2000 to 2012, a period while a Lech Poznan, Michal K, died at hospital after 1 week of agony in July 2001. In 2003, after the game GKS Belchatow-Slask Wroclaw, DHW hooligans, armed with batons also attacked their rivals. One of them died.
One of them, Rafala J; aka "Jedras", pleaded guilty and collaborated with justice by swaying his old friends. He arrived hooded and escorted by the police to court, because he was threatened with death, then isolated from the rest of the accused who insulted him on his arrival.

England : Birmingham City hooligans who clashed during violent Leeds match sentenced and banned - 19/09/2020
Source : https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/
Violent thugs who clashed during a Leeds United and Birmingham City match have been handed football banning orders totalling 110 years.
Hooligans fought with police and stewards when trouble flared in the West stand of Elland Road towards the end of the match last October.
Missiles including bottles and cones were thrown as further disorder spilled outside the ground and continued for around 45 minutes before the crowds were eventually dispersed.
Leeds District CID launched a painstaking investigation titled Operation Bandshot, to bring those responsible to justice.
A team trawled CCTV and officers’ body-worn camera footage to fully capture all the offences arising from the incidents and identify those responsible.
A series of public appeals were also made in the media and on social media featuring images of a number of the suspects.
Around 29 people, mostly Birmingham fans, were charged with violent disorder.
Of those, 23 entered guilty pleas at hearings at Leeds Crown Court in July and most have been sentenced there over the last few weeks.
A total of 19 defendants received prison sentences totalling 17 years and two months with six of those being suspended sentences.
Two youths from Sutton Coldfield received rehabilitation orders and one other defendant was given a community order.
All were given football banning orders totalling nearly 110 years.
Detective Superintendent Jaz Khan, Head of Crime for Leeds District, said: “These were some really ugly scenes of violence and the worst crowd trouble to be seen at Elland Road for more than a decade.
“Although only a relative minority of supporters of both sides were involved in these incidents, their behaviour had a significant impact on ground staff and police officers as well as other fans and families attending the game.
“Large-scale violence such as this will always be the subject of a thorough and comprehensive investigation, and we set off on many months of painstaking analysis of what had occurred, with the clear aim of identifying those responsible and bringing them to justice.
“Genuine fans, regardless of team loyalties, had no hesitation in condemning what took place, and the support of the public played a huge part in the success of our appeals.
“We worked closely with our colleagues at West Midlands Police to arrest the majority of the suspects in a series of dawn raids.”
Five other men have pleaded not guilty and are due to stand trial in December, May and April.
One man is due to appear before Leeds Magistrates Court next month and a further defendant is due to be sentenced on September 28.
