Nea Salamina secures victory against Anorthosis
Nea Salamina achieved a significant 3-0 victory over Anorthosis on September 19, 2026, during the fourth round of the Cyprus League by Stoiximan at the Ammochostos-Epistrofi stadium. This result marks a turning point for the team after a difficult start to the season where they earned only one point from their first three matches.
Manager Angel Lopez praised his players' resilience and their ability to overcome challenges during the match, noting that the team had previously been unfairly labeled as the worst in the league. While acknowledging that the squad is still adjusting after moving up from the second division and requires more time to develop, Lopez expressed satisfaction with their performance and dedication. On the opposing side, Anorthosis manager Nestor El Maestro admitted that his team's performance was subpar, specifically highlighting missed opportunities in the first half of the game.
Looking ahead, the team plans to utilize the upcoming 15-day break to continue their training and further integrate new players into the squad. The win provides a much-needed morale boost for Nea Salamina as they continue their efforts in the top-tier competition.
