In a closely contested match at the Panthessaliko Stadium, Volos and Aris each managed to secure a point, ending their encounter at 1-1 during the 21st round of the Super League. The draw came in the debut of Kostas Bratsos as Volos' head coach, and it marked a vital stop to Volos' streak of five consecutive losses, bringing their points total to 26 and placing them seventh in the league, just one point behind Aris.

The match began cautiously, with both teams focusing on defensive solidity. The opening goal came in the 25th minute due to a defensive error; as Dountou broke on a counter-attack and aimed for Jensen, Kargas miscleared the ball, sending it into the net. The first half lacked further action, and despite a tactical triple substitution from Aris' coach Jimenez at the beginning of the second half, the team struggled to capitalize on their chances.

However, a pivotal moment came when a cross from Makni struck Sundberg's hand inside the box, leading to a penalty that Juanpi successfully converted, leveling the match. The standout performance came from goalkeeper Athanasiadis, who made several crucial saves, allowing Aris to maintain parity even while playing with one less player for a significant portion of the match.
