Fighting between fans marred the Greek Cup basketball final Sunday, won by Panathinaikos over Olympiakos, with riot police called in after two players were hurt, one with a knife thrown from the stands. Authorities stopped the game and emptied the Ellinikon indoor stadium seven minutes before the end of the second period with Panathinaikos ahead 26-17 when fans from both teams clashed in the stands and on the court. Riot-trained police were deployed to separate the two groups and led them out of the stadium.

Fulham midfielder Giorgos Karagounis was among the 20 players called up by Greece coach Fernando Santos Friday for the February 6 friendly against Switzerland at the Karaiskakis Stadium in Piraeus. The 35-year-old midfielder makes his comeback after being left out of the squad for last November's friendly against the Republic of Ireland. Karagounis, who moved to Fulham from Panathinaikos last year, has been capped 122 times, more than any other Greek player. Santos also handed a first call-up to 28-year-old defender Sokratis Fytanidis of Athens club Atromitos.

By Graham Wood ATHENS, Jan 22 (Reuters) - Panathinaikos forward Sebastian Leto has left the Greek club by mutual consent after a long battle with injury. The 26-year-old Argentine, who shone after joining from arch rivals Olympiakos Piraeus in 2009, has not kicked a ball since January 2012 due to a knee problem.
