The 2013 Greek Cup final was the 69th final of the Greek Cup. It took place on 11 May 2013 at the Olympic Stadium. The contesting teams were Olympiacos and Asteras Tripolis.{{cite web|url=http://www.tovima.gr/2013/05/12/sports/to-kypello-ston-olympiako-orgi-ston-astera-gia-ti-diaitisia/|title=Το κύπελλο στον Ολυμπιακό, οργή στον Αστέρα για τη διατησία|website=tovima.gr|date=12 May 2013|lang=el}} It was Asteras Tripolis' first ever Greek Cup final in their 72 years of existence and Olympiacos' thirty seventh and second consecutive Greek Cup final of their 88-year history. The match was marked by the bad refereeing of Athanasios Giachos, who deprived Asteras Tripolis the chance of winning the trophy on multiple occasions, once at the 68th minute, with the score at 1–1, the midfielder of Olympiacos, Maniatis saved a header from Sankaré pushing it back with his hand over the goal line, with the referee and his assistant turning a blind eye to the violation and indicating play on.{{Cite web|url=https://www.pna.gr/sports/%CF%80%CE%BF%CE%B4%CF%8C%CF%83%CF%86%CE%B1%CE%B9%CF%81%CE%BF/46268-san-simera-11-05-13-o-telikos-kypellou-tou-astera-tripolis-me-to-olympiako-i-istoria-i-ekstrateia-kai-i-adikia|title=Σαν σήμερα 11/05/13 ο τελικός κυπέλλου του Αστέρα Τρίπολης με το Ολυμπιακό: Η ιστορία, η “εκστρατεία” και η αδικία|date=11 May 2020|lang=el}} Another was at the 117th minute, when the midfielder of Olympiacos, Fejsa fouled Rayos inside the area and no penalty was awarded. On the contrary, in the following phase the referee awarded Olympiacos a penalty, even though he was 40 meters away from the spot of the foul that was clearly outside the area.{{Cite web|url=https://www.sport24.gr/football/asteras-tripolis-olympiakos-1-3.8102198.html|title=Αστέρας Τρίπολης-Ολυμπιακός 1-3|website=sport24.gr|lang=el}} Several fans of the "red and whites" left the stadium before the award ceremony, as an act of bitterness over their club's loss.{{Cite web|url=https://www.onsports.gr/afieromata/story/632626/telikos-kypelloy-2013-to-xeri-poy-edose-ton-titlo-ston-olympiako-photos-videos|title=Τελικός Κυπέλλου 2013: Το... χέρι που έδωσε τον τίτλο στον Ολυμπιακό|date=11 May 2021|website=onsports.gr|lang=el}}{{Cite web|url=https://toprotoselido.gr/deka-chronia-meta-o-telikos-toy-2013-i-vradia-poy-o-asteras-axize-to-kypello/|title=Δέκα χρόνια μετά, ο τελικός του 2013!
