AEK secures first away win against Volos with Jovic double

On September 20, 2026, AEK Athens achieved its first away victory of the current championship by defeating Volos 2-1 at the Panthessaliko Stadium. The result was secured largely due to two goals scored by Luka Jovic.

Volos, under coach Kostas Bratsos, employed a 5-4-1 formation featuring Lodygin in goal and a defensive trio of Kargas, Ariagua, and Mygas. Despite an aggressive start, including a double chance for Comba and Furtado within the first minute that hit the post, the home side could not maintain their momentum. AEK, managed by Marko Nikolic, utilized a 4-4-2 formation with Brignoli in goal. The midfield and attack featured players such as Gacinovic, Pelios, Vitalis, Marin, Koita, Mayer, and Mantalos, supporting Jovic in the central attacking role.

The match marked a significant turning point for AEK in their away campaign, while Volos's early efforts to pressure the defense proved insufficient to secure points despite a strong tactical setup.
