The first clash between the renewed Panathinaikos Athens and Sasha Vezenkov-less Olympiacos Piraeus was one of the most anticipated games before the start of the EuroLeague season. However, Olympiacos easily defeated their archrivals 75-51 (16-4, 21-7, 19-23, 19-17) and won the Greek Super Cup.

From the very start, Panathinaikos struggled to make shots. On the other side of the court, the red-and-whites dominated.

With the result being 5-4 in the first quarter, Panathinaikos did not score for the next 14 minutes. At that time, Olympiacos went on a 27-0 run (32-4) and had the game in the hand already at halftime.

Panathinaikos made only 3 field goals, made zero assists, and scored just 11 points in the first two quarters.

One of Olympiacos presidents - Panagiotis Angelopoulos - was even seen taking a photo of the score.

The lopsided score sparked a mini-conflict in the fourth quarter between Isaiah Canaan and Kostas Antetokounmpo that resulted in both players receiving technical fouls.

It was the sixth domestic title in a row for Olympiacos. Giannoulis Larentzakis, who scored a game-leading 20 points, was named the tournament MVP.
