Olympiakos secures first victory as Apollon loses unbeaten streak
On November 7, 2026, Olympiakos Nicosia achieved its first league victory of the season, defeating Apollon Limassol 1-0 in the 9th round of the Cyprus League by Stoiximan. The decisive goal was scored by Tamas in the 32nd minute following a set-piece error. This outcome handed Apollon its first defeat of the campaign, ending the Limassol team's unbeaten run and placing them in 5th position with 16 points.
Manager Giorgos Kostis celebrated the result as a testament to his team's family-like bond and determination. Conversely, Apollon head coach Hernan Losada attributed the poor performance to a weak first half, individual errors, and a long list of squad absences, including players such as Balogiannis, while the team's press officer Fanourios Konstantinou described the result as a tragic loss. Despite the frustration, Apollon officials have emphasized that the defeat does not signal a crisis and have expressed continued confidence in Losada's project.
The team is currently utilizing the international break to address defensive vulnerabilities, as they have conceded 11 goals in nine matches. Management is optimistic that key players will return from injuries and suspensions ahead of the upcoming match against Omonia 29is Maiou on November 22.
