AEL Limassol takes top spot in Cyprus League after defeating Omonia Aradippou
AEL Limassol has moved into sole possession of first place in the Cyprus League after a 2-0 victory over Omonia Aradippou during the sixth round of the championship. The match, held on October 18, 2026, was decided by goals from Singh in the 61st minute and Jeffrey in the 63rd minute. This win marks AEL's fourth consecutive victory and their fifth overall this season, bringing them to a total of 15 points.
The team’s strong performance marks a significant turnaround following an earlier 6-0 defeat against APOEL. AEL currently leads the standings, sitting two points ahead of the second-placed AEK Larnaca. Club spokesperson Nikolas Leventis praised the team's resilience and tactical discipline under coach Hugo Martins, noting that while the current position is satisfying, the season remains long and demanding.
Looking ahead, AEL prepares for a critical seventh-round derby against Aris Limassol on October 25, 2026. The club aims to maintain its momentum while continuing to integrate new players like Jeffrey, who scored his first league goal during the recent match. The team remains focused on consistent improvement rather than external league developments.
