ATHENS, Greece (AP) - Darcy Neto scored in each half to help Aris defeat host AEK 2-1 in the Greek league on Saturday.
It was the Thessaloniki club's third away win against AEK in 52 tries. Ismael Blanco had temporarily equalized for AEK.
AEK remains in fourth place, 18 points behind league leader Olympiakos, while Aris climbed to sixth. Also, Iraklis prevailed 2-1 at Panserraikos and Asteras drew 1-1 at home with Larissa.
Neto, a Brazilian defender, created most of the scoring chances in a largely listless game. In the 18th minute, his powerful shot from the edge of the area went just wide.
Eleven minutes later, he received a perfect throughball from Michel to open the scoring. AEK equalised in the 51st when Blanco met Scocco's cross from the left and volleyed home his eighth goal of the season.
AEK kept attacking but had only one major chance, when goalkeeper Michalis Sifakis saved from Papa Bouba Diop's powerful shot two minutes from time.
Earlier, in the 76th, Neto dribbled past Diop and scored the winner with a powerful shot from the edge of the area.
On Sunday, it's Ergotelis vs Panionios, Kavala vs. Kerkyra, Volos vs. Atromitos, Olympiakos vs Xanthi and PAOK vs. Panathinaikos.
