Kavala Football Club's Greek Cup campaign came to an end with a 1-2 defeat to Panathinaikos, one of the country's biggest clubs, in what was widely seen as a respectable showing for a Super League 2 side. Club officials pointed to the tie as valuable experience for younger players in the squad, while acknowledging the gap in resources between Kavala and top-flight opposition. Attention has since turned fully to the league campaign and the fight to remain in Super League 2.
