AEL Suffers First Defeat After Leading in Eight Games

AEL suffered their first defeat in eight games where they took the lead, losing 2-1 to Anorthosis. Despite going ahead, they failed to secure the victory, something they had achieved in the previous seven matches. This defeat complicates the team's efforts to compete for a place in the top six, as they are six points behind APOEL, who also have a game in hand. AEL had previously won against Olympiacos, Anorthosis, EN Ypsonas, Enosis, Omonia Aradippou, and Ethnikos, while drawing 2-2 with Apollon.
