Nigerian forward Brown Ideye was on target for his Aris Thessaloniki in their victory over Xanthi FC in the Greek Cup round of 16 first-leg on Wednesday.
Ideye who failed to score in Aris victory over rivals Paok Thessaloniki last weekend was the hero this time around, as he his solitary strike was enough to earn his side a slim advantage going into the second leg at home.
The former West Bromich Albion forward scored the only goal of the game in the 17th minute and was on the pitch fot the entire duration of the game.
Ideye has now scored seven goals in 20 appearances for Aris Thessaloniki this season and will be looking to add to his tally when Aris Thessaloniki host Xanthi on January 14, with the winner advancing into the quarter-finals.
