AEL defeated Paphos 2-0 at “Stelios Kyriakidis” Stadium and will head into the league break in the best possible way, securing three crucial points against one of the title contenders.
Hugo Martins’ team came into the match exceptionally well-prepared, shut down Pafos’s attacking lanes, and managed to significantly limit the home team’s creativity. At the same time, the “Lions” capitalized on the openings they found and struck on the counterattack, going up 2-0 in quick succession at the start of the second half.
In fact, the score could have been even higher, as the Limassol team created several chances for a third goal. The highlight was a triple chance by Conceição, who was unable to find the back of the net.
