The sports judge imposed penalties on Panathinaikos, involving a one-game spectator ban and a fine of 3,000 euros.

However, Game 4 at OAKA will proceed as usual with fans, while PAO will face a game in an empty arena in the upcoming season.

It remains uncertain whether Panathinaikos will choose to appeal these penalties. Just a few days ago, club owner Dimitris Giannakopoulos expressed his view on Olympiacos' appeal regarding their own punishment, emphasizing that Panathinaikos would never engage in such actions.

On the other hand, Olympiacos have received the same sanctions for their fans' behavior before Game 1.

Currently, the best-of-five series is level at 1-1 after Panathinaikos secured a victory in Game 2. The teams are set to face each other on Sunday night at the Piece and Friendship Stadium.
