Apollon Limassol earns first victory of the season against Anorthosis

Apollon Limassol secured their first victory of the 2026 season on September 5, defeating Anorthosis 3-1 at the Alphamega Stadium. Key contributors in the win included Alen Ozbolt, who scored twice, and Gary Rodrigues, who contributed a goal and an assist. Despite the result, head coach Hernan Losada maintained a realistic stance, emphasizing that the team's performance has not yet reached the levels seen last year and noting the inherent instability shown during the match.

The team is currently managing significant squad challenges due to injuries. While players like Ljubic, Brown, and Andreou are sidelined for the upcoming match, the squad will receive a boost with the return of Brandon Thomas and Gaetan Weissbeck, both of whom have completed their suspensions. These players are expected to be available for the high-stakes away match against Omonia, scheduled for Saturday, September 12, at 20:00 at the GSP Stadium.

Following the clash with Omonia, Apollon faces another major test against APOEL on September 19. The team currently holds four points from two matches, a start viewed as positive despite the early-season tactical adjustments and persistent injury concerns.
