Kifisia held AEK to a 1-1 draw at Leoforos after Benni equalised in the final phase of a match that swung sharply after a red card.

The hosts started strongly. Yane missed an early header and later tested AEK goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha, while Sagal sent another header just over the bar in the 10th minute. Kifisia controlled much of the opening period and repeatedly looked more dangerous.

AEK gradually found more possession, but struggled to create space for Jovic and Varga. Its clearest first-half chance came in the 41st minute, when Jovic turned toward goal after Mayer’s cross. Kifisia goalkeeper Ramirez blocked the effort with his foot and then made two more important saves in stoppage time, denying Marin one-on-one and stopping Varga’s header.

AEK eventually took the lead through Varga, but Van Aima’s dismissal changed the balance. Kifisia responded with greater determination and confidence, and Benni scored the equaliser. The result left AEK with a point from the fixture.
