Anorthosis: Lacked Cutting Edge

Published January 15, 2026, 06:25

Anorthosis was eliminated from the Coca-Cola Cup, losing 2-0 to Apollon at the 'Alphamega Stadium'. The Ammohostos team had a passive role in the match, mainly defending, but managed to create some opportunities. However, a combination of poor finishing and good saves from Apollon's goalkeeper, Koun, along with the effectiveness of Marques, led to their defeat. Anorthosis coach, Timur Ketsbaia, acknowledged the positive aspects of his team but stressed the need to focus on the more important goal, staying in the top division. Anorthosis will face Omonia on Sunday at GSP Stadium.
