PAOK secures victory against Aris in Thessaloniki derby

On September 13, 2026, PAOK defeated Aris 2-0 at Toumba Stadium during the fourth round of the Stoiximan Super League. The match was decided in the first half when Sherif Ndiaye converted a penalty in the 32nd minute following a handball by Fabiano. Andrija Zivkovic doubled the lead in the 41st minute, marking a historic 100th goal for PAOK in home derbies against Aris in top-tier competition history. Although Aris began the game with stronger ball possession and missed an early opportunity via a Kadewere header, they were ultimately unable to overcome the defensive organization of the hosts.

This victory allows PAOK to recover from their previous defeat against Panathinaikos, elevating them to a three-way tie for second place in the league table with 9 points, trailing the unbeaten Panathinaikos. Following this result, PAOK prepares for an away match against Panetolikos, while Aris is scheduled to face Iraklis on September 19, 2026.
