AEL draws 0-0 with Zakynthos in pre‑season friendly

AEL Novibet and Zakynthos met in a goalless friendly at the Karpenisi training centre, the first summer‑preparation match for both clubs. The first half was uneventful, while high temperatures forced a water‑break and led to several errors from both sides. In the second half AEL raised its tempo, creating three clear chances, including a header by Nitsos that narrowly missed the post and a close‑range effort by Makris that was saved by the goalkeeper. Zakynthos also generated opportunities, notably a long‑range shot by Noikokyrakis, but could not find the net. Both teams made numerous substitutions, giving playing time to the full squad. The result leaves Zakynthos preparing for its first official cup match against A.O. Trikala, while AEL looks ahead to its upcoming league fixture.
