Olympiakos defeats Apollon 1-0 in Cyprus League

Olympiakos secured a 1-0 victory against Apollon Limassol at the GSP Stadium on November 7, 2026, marking the ninth round of the Cyprus League by Stoiximan. The decisive goal was scored by Tamas in the 32nd minute following a defensive lapse by Apollon during a corner kick.

Apollon entered the match dealing with significant squad issues, as players including Malekkidis, Escreche, Andreou, Asoro, Spoljaric, and Leewenberg were unavailable due to suspensions or injuries. A last-minute complication saw Balogiannis ruled out with discomfort, forcing head coach Hernan Losada to adjust his starting lineup. Despite a stronger performance in the second half where the visitors created multiple scoring opportunities, Apollon failed to capitalize on them, ultimately succumbing to their first defeat of the season.

Coach Hernan Losada expressed disappointment regarding his team's efficiency and defensive performance during the first half. While acknowledging the quality of the opposition, he took responsibility for the team's failure to execute their game plan until the second half. This defeat ends Apollon's unbeaten run, while Olympiakos earns a vital result in their effort to climb out of the lower positions in the league standings.
