Apollon Limassol's 4-0 Win Over FC Dila Gori Secures Advantage in Conference League

Apollon Limassol of Cyprus defeated Georgia's FC Dila Gori 4‑0 in the first leg of the second qualifying round of the 2026/27 UEFA Conference League. The match was played at the Tengiz Burjanadze Stadium in Gori. Spanish forward Brandon Thomas opened the scoring in the 14th minute, assisted a second goal for Gaetan Weissbeck at 28 minutes, and Alen Ožbolt added another late in the first half. An own‑goal by Tedo Kikabidze and a red card for Donkor completed the tally.

The victory gives Apollon a three‑goal cushion for the return leg, meaning they will progress to the next stage even if they lose by up to three goals. Coach Hernán Losada praised the team's discipline and will rotate the squad for the second match. The 0‑4 result is the club's largest away win in European competition, surpassing previous records from 1994 and 2014.
