APOEL's striking consistency with goalposts in recent matches

On November 1, 2026, APOEL defeated Omonia Aradippou 2-1 in a league match. Despite the victory, the team drew attention for hitting the goalposts three times during the game. Specifically, Stafylidis at the 37th minute, Marquinhos at the 61st, and Dalsio at the 63rd minute all struck the woodwork while the score was still 0-0.

This incident brings APOEL's total tally of woodwork hits to 11 in just eight league matches. Earlier in the season, the team experienced similar misfortune, including a significant sequence against Nea Salamina where they hit the post three times, and another instance during the opening match against AEK. These occurrences highlight a recurring theme of near-misses for the Nicosia-based club throughout the campaign.

While the team has managed to secure points despite these challenges, the frequency of such events has become a notable feature of their current performance. The club's technical staff and players remain focused on translating these dangerous opportunities into goals as the season progresses.
