Apollon Limassol Secures Ninth Consecutive Victory

Apollon Limassol achieved a remarkable ninth consecutive victory in the league, defeating Ethnikos Achna 1-0 at the "AlphaMega" stadium. Zmerhal scored the winning goal in the 35th minute, securing three points for the Limassol team. Apollon created numerous opportunities but failed to increase their lead, while Ethnikos Achna focused primarily on defense. This win propelled Apollon to second place in the standings with 48 points, surpassing AEK and closing the gap with league leaders Omonia. The match was briefly delayed due to paper thrown onto the pitch. Possession and shots on goal were significantly in favor of Apollon (17-2). Next Monday, Apollon will face Omonia in a crucial match expected to have a significant impact on the title race. Apollon's players missed several chances to seal the victory earlier, with Zmerhal finding the net. The match was relatively comfortable for Apollon, despite a lack of efficiency in the final shot.
