Perugia 0 Aris 3

Date added: 2022-03-03

Aris was founded in Thessaloniki, on 25 March 1914 and was named after the mythological God of War as its founders reasoned that "only a god could defeat a demi-god (Iraklis - the other city team at that time - means Hercules )".

In the 1970s, Aris was reorganized and a vast number of young players from Thessaloniki, including Kouis, Foiros, Drambis, Zindros and Papafloratos led the club. Its most important achievements during that period included a successful 1980 UEFA campaign when Aris eliminated Benfica and Perugia. Aris was also the first Greek club to score a victory both in Italy and Portugal. At home, the team shared first place with Olympiacos at the end of the 1980 campaign, though it lost the title 2–0 in a tie-breaker against the Piraeus club in Volos National Stadium.
