Apollon failed to capitalize on AEK’s draw, as they were held to a 2-2 tie against Paphos and missed the opportunity to climb to the top of the Cyprus League by Stoiximan standings.
Ernán Lozada’s team fell behind early, but fought back and, midway through the second half, managed to turn the game around, taking a 2-1 lead. Just as the “Blues” seemed to be in control and managing their lead, Konomis made a mistake, committing a penalty. Anderson didn’t miss from the penalty spot, tying the game at 2-2 and denying the Limassol side the chance to celebrate a crucial three points.
Despite the loss of two points, Apollon’s overall performance sends a positive message, as the Argentine coach’s team showed resilience and a determination to fight for the win. Now, the “Blues” are turning their attention to the next matchday, when they will face Olympiacos at GSP Stadium on Saturday (Nov. 7, 7:00 p.m.), aiming to get back on the winning track.
