Anorthosis Secures Crucial Victory Over Ethnikos

Anorthosis achieved their first home win of the season, defeating Ethnikos 1-0 in the 17th matchday. This result provides a significant boost to the team's standings, coming after five games without a win. The victory was attributed to the team's seriousness, discipline, and commitment to their goal, despite not playing impressively. With this win, Anorthosis climbed to 11th place in the league with 17 points, leaving Ethnikos in 12th place with 14 points. The team now has room for further improvement in their position, provided they continue to deliver positive results. Anorthosis is now focusing on the Cup, where they will face Apollon on Wednesday. Although the main goal of the season is to stay in the league, the team will strive to reach the quarter-finals of the Cup. The win highlighted the importance of Anorthosis' "heavy jersey," which played a decisive role in a critical game for the team's survival. The management recognizes the need to overcome financial difficulties to ensure the team's sustainability.
