AEL Limassol returns to winning ways in the Cyprus League

AEL Limassol defeated Krasava ENY 3-1 on November 7, 2026, marking a critical reaction following two consecutive league defeats to Aris and Omonia. The match, which took place in the context of the 9th round of the Cyprus League, saw goals from Singh, Karo, and Zair Tavares. Despite not performing at its absolute peak, the team secured the essential three points, maintaining its place among the top clubs in the league standings.

With 18 points from nine games, AEL currently sits in third place, an achievement described by local sources as significant given the early-season absences of key players like Tsantakovits, Gomis, and the long-term suspension of Kafou. Coach Hugo Martins, who faced scrutiny after recent losses, emphasized the need for more efficient performances as the team enters the international break. This current points tally marks the club's best start in six years, surpassing the performances of the previous five seasons at the same stage.

The team now looks to use the international break to regroup and integrate returning players. Future challenges include maintaining consistency not just against lower-ranked opponents but also in upcoming high-stakes derbies as they aim to solidify their position within the top six.
