Omonia secures 2-0 victory against AEL in Cyprus League

Omonia defeated AEL 2-0 at the GSP Stadium on October 31, 2026, during the 8th round of the Cyprus League by Stoiximan. The hosts secured their win with an early penalty from Dionis in the 15th minute, awarded by VAR following a handball by Evagoras Antoniou, and a header by Jaden Mondnor in the 33rd minute, assisted by Evandro.
