Apollon secures first win against Anorthosis in Cyprus League matchday two

On September 5, 2026, the second matchday of the Cyprus League by Stoiximan continued with a key fixture between Apollon and Anorthosis at the Alphamega Stadium in Limassol. The match concluded with a 3-1 victory for Apollon, marking their first win of the season after an opening draw against Aris. Garry Rodrigues opened the scoring for the home side in the 44th minute, and despite Anorthosis equalizing via a penalty from Kiko, Apollon ultimately triumphed with goals including efforts from Ojozbolt.

Manager Hernan Losada successfully integrated defender Josef Kvida, who returned from injury to start the match, while other key players like Malekkidis were sidelined due to health issues. The match was marred by an injury to Angelos Andreou, who was forced off with a suspected muscle problem. In other concurrent action, Omonia Aradippou hosted Krasava ENY at the AEK Arena.

Following these results, Apollon prepares to face Omonia Nicosia on September 12 at the GSP Stadium, while Anorthosis will look to bounce back against APOEL on the same day. These early season results are critical for the teams as they adjust their rosters and performance levels for the ongoing championship campaign.
