Cameroon midfielder Martin Hongla scores in Aris Thessaloniki’s comeback win Volos

Cameroonian midfielder Martin Hongla has marked a memorable milestone in Greece after scoring his first goal for Aris Thessaloniki FC since joining the club on loan from Granada CF during the winter transfer window.

Hongla found the back of the net on Saturday, opening the scoring in Aris Thessaloniki’s dramatic 3-2 victory over Volos FC on matchday 28 of the Super League Greece. His goal set the tone for a hard-fought encounter that ultimately ended in a crucial win for his side.

Arriving primarily to strengthen Aris’ midfield stability, Hongla has quickly begun to expand his influence beyond defensive duties. While his primary role remains shielding the backline and breaking up opposition play, his latest contribution highlights an added attacking dimension that could prove valuable in the closing stages of the season.

The goal also carries personal significance, coming after 10 appearances in the Greek top flight without finding the net. His breakthrough moment reflects both persistence and growing confidence as he adapts to a new league and tactical system.

Aris Thessaloniki’s victory was hard-earned, with both sides exchanging goals in a tense contest that kept fans on edge until the final whistle. However, Hongla’s opener proved vital in shaping the momentum of the match and helping his team secure all three points.

As the season approaches its decisive phase, the Cameroonian midfielder’s rising influence will be a welcome boost for Aris. If his recent performance is anything to go by, Hongla may yet prove to be a key figure not only in midfield stability but also in delivering crucial moments in front of goal.
