AEL Limassol faces a period of significant challenge following a heavy 6-0 defeat against APOEL. The loss has prompted calls for self-criticism within the club as they attempt to manage the aftermath of the result.

Coach Hugo Martins has issued an apology regarding the team's performance and the match outcome.
