Omonia secures away victory against Anorthosis in league match

Omonia Nicosia defeated Anorthosis 2-0 on November 8, 2026, during the 9th round of the Cyprus League, at the Antonis Papadopoulos Stadium. Goals from Diony and Akintola secured the win, allowing Omonia to recover quickly from their recent European defeat against Nijmegen. Coach Henning Berg praised his players' mentality and physical condition, noting that the victory was achieved despite a short recovery period following their midweek international travel.

Managerial decisions included fielding Mayambela in a defensive role, which Berg highlighted as a success, and rotating the squad to manage fatigue. Several players remain sidelined due to injury, including Andronikos Kakoullis, Jure Balkovec, and Nego, who will focus on rehabilitation during the upcoming international break instead of joining their national teams. Additionally, Duverne is currently being monitored for discomfort following the match.

Following the win, Omonia players have been granted a two-day break. Six players have been called up to their national teams, while the rest of the squad will resume training on Wednesday to prepare for their next match against APOEL on November 21.
