On September 18, 2026, AEK Larnaca defeated Omonia 29is Maiou 2-1 in a Cyprus League by Stoiximan match held at the Katokopia-Epistrofi stadium in Peristerona. The visitors took the lead early in the 23rd minute through Andereggen, but the hosts responded just before halftime with a goal from Tierney in the 41st minute. Despite Omonia 29M having a goal disallowed for handball in the 63rd minute, AEK pressed late in the game and secured the win with a goal from Bajic in the 84th minute, following an assist by Mrabti.

Heading into the match, Omonia 29M had maintained an undefeated record with five points, while AEK sought to rebound from a 1-0 defeat against Pafos FC.
