Apollon secures first win of the season against Anorthosis
On September 7, 2026, Apollon Limassol achieved their first victory of the season, defeating Anorthosis 3-1. Despite the win, which brought the team to four points, manager Hernan Losada expressed concerns regarding the team's performance, stating it remains below last year's standards. The match was characterized by intensity and moments of instability, including a penalty conceded by Garry Rodrigues, who otherwise contributed a goal and an assist.
Alen Ozbolt was instrumental for Apollon, scoring two goals and reaching a total of four in the current campaign, while Escriche provided significant defensive support. The team has had to manage early season challenges, including a limited selection of players for coach Losada. Unlike last season, when the team under Sofronis Avgousti suffered heavy defeats to Aris and ENY before recording their first win on the third matchday, the current squad remains undefeated in the early stages of the league. Moving forward, the focus remains on overcoming current inconsistencies to improve the team's overall tactical image.
