Martins: 'What Happened with APOEL Happened Again'

AEL coach Hugo Martins expressed his dissatisfaction with the result of the derby against Apollon, considering it unfair. He stated that his team largely achieved their plan and that it was difficult to compete against a team with a long winning streak. He emphasized that the team's strategy was to exploit the space and that they succeeded when the opponent changed the game from side to side. Martins expressed his regret for the two goals conceded in one minute, which led to a loss of concentration, and stressed that the same thing happened as with APOEL. He believed that a draw would have been a fairer result.
