Aris Limassol celebrates first league win of the season

Aris Limassol secured their first victory of the 2026 league season on September 14, defeating Krasava ENY Ypsonas with a 1-0 scoreline. The match, which concluded the third round of the championship, was decided by a goal from Gabonese striker Junior Efaghe in the 84th minute. Following this result, Aris moved to four points in the standings, positioning themselves in eighth place.

The team, managed by Belarusian coach Aliaksei Shpileuski (Artsyom Radzkou), is currently navigating a period of transition with a significantly younger squad. Club spokesperson Kostas Papadopoulos emphasized that the team requires patience as the young players adapt to higher professional expectations. Efaghe has been instrumental in the team's performance, having scored in each of the first three matches, bringing his personal total to three goals this season.

Looking ahead, Aris aims to build on this momentum as they prepare for their next challenge. The team is scheduled to face Karmiotissa at the Alphamega Stadium in the fourth round of the league, as they seek to maintain their goal of becoming title contenders.
