Apollon prepares for Omonia clash following win against Anorthosis

Apollon Limassol secured their first victory of the 2026 Cyprus League season, defeating Anorthosis 3-1 at the Alphamega Stadium. Despite the win, head coach Hernan Losada maintained a cautious tone, noting that the team’s current performance levels have yet to match last season's standards. Key players Alen Ozbolt and Gary Rodrigues were instrumental in the victory, contributing to all three goals. The team currently holds four points from their first two matches.

Looking ahead, Apollon is preparing for a high-stakes away derby against Omonia at the GSP Stadium on September 12 at 20:00. The club’s spokesperson, Fanourios Konstantinou, confirmed that the team will be bolstered by the return of Brandon Thomas and Gaetan Weissbeck, who have completed their suspensions. However, the squad will face significant absences, including Ivan Ljubic, Morgan Brown, Connor Goldson, and Angelos Andreou, who are sidelined due to injuries. Approximately 1,000 Apollon fans are expected to attend the match following police restrictions on ticket numbers.
