Amateur Reaction Costs AEL

Published January 10, 2026, 11:17

AEL suffered a 2-0 defeat to Omonia due to a controversial goal. In the 85th minute, AEL players stopped running believing Maé was offside, including goalkeeper Ochoa. Despite the assistant referee initially flagging for offside, VAR allowed the goal, denying AEL the chance to respond in the final minutes. The AEL defense's reaction was described as amateurish and disappointing.
