Ioannidis took over the execution in the 52nd minute and hit the target, returning to the goals after January 10 and the first Cup match against Olympiakos at Leoforos.

In the 60th minute Dragovski made an amazing intervention in his “window” with a very good shot by Darinda outside the area, while in the 72nd minute another good shot by the Czech midfielder went past the “green” posts.

The home team missed another good chance in the 86th minute, when from a very nice collaboration between Bacacetta and Bernard, Mladenovic found himself in a position to… shoot, but Cuesta made an impressive save in the corner, while in the 88th minute the Aris goalkeeper and Rose saved their team from the third goal by clearing on the line.
