Aris Thessaloniki was held to a 1-1 home draw by AE Kifisias in the Greek Super League on February 23, 2026. The result at the Kleanthis Vikelidis Stadium was a frustrating one for Aris, who would have been targeting all three points against a team from the lower reaches of the table. Aris took the lead and controlled large periods of the game, but a resilient Kifisias side fought back and snatched an equalizer, probably against the run of play. Despite intense late pressure, Aris could not find a winning goal, leaving them to settle for a single point. This draw hampered Aris's chances of closing the gap to the European places, while for Kifisias, it was a hard-earned and potentially crucial point in their battle against relegation.
