THE Mars completed his playing duties in the best way this week, as after the victory for the Greek Cup where he won 3-0 against Niki Volos, the Yellows won away from home the Kifissia thanks to the first goal of Yiannis Fetfatzidis after his return.
Akis Manziou’s team returned to positive results in the match of the 20th matchday and reduced its gap to 5 points from 4th Olympiakos.
On the contrary, Kifisia experienced their fourth consecutive defeat and remain in a difficult position, at the bottom of the standings with 12 points.
Kifisia threatened first, Aris 0-1 with Fetfatzidis
The match started strongly and the first good moment came only in the 6th minute. Kifiasia threatened first, with Peios shooting from a long distance and Houtesiotis making an excellent intervention, clearing for a corner. Six minutes later, Aris stepped into the Anagnostopoulos area for the first time. Menendez crossed from the left, with Suleimanov heading wide. In the 16th minute, the guests opened the scoring. Tetei lost the ball, Menendes made the vertical ball and Fetfatzidis perfectly placed Anagnostopoulos in the four-a-four, making it 0-1.
Kifissia equalised, missed opportunities for both
From that point on, the home team increased their pressure, but Akis Manziou’s team easily managed the lead in their favour. In the 37th minute, the Northern Suburbs team lost a good phase, with Krisiouma sending the ball just wide with a nice individual effort and shot. Two minutes later, Fabiano almost scored with a header from a corner, but Anagnostopoulos made an impressive save. In the 41st minute, Krisiuma again created a problem for the yellow defense, but the shot he attempted went wide. In the delays of the match, Milisevic made a cross-shot, but Houtesiotis pushed it hard for a corner.
Kifisia turned up the pace, it remained 0-1 until the end
The second part was not very good in terms of spectacle, with both teams creating few good moments. Kifissia turned up the pace in order to pressure Aris, but did not step into the opposing area with claims many times. In the 52nd minute, Soloa sent the ball dribblely, but what he scored correctly did not count as he was exposed. The yellows threatened in the 54th minute, with Samora shooting from outside the area, but Anagnostopoulos firmly blocked. Afterwards, the home team tried to score a goal, but failed to do so. In the 58th minute from Milicevic’s cross, Ozegovic got a header between Rose and Montoya, but the ball went wide. Then the pace “froze” with Aris managing without any particular problems the lead in his favor until the end.
