APOEL secured a dominant 6-0 victory against AEL in a football derby at GSP Stadium. APOEL took an early lead through Marcinio and a Pedroso penalty. The match shifted in the 55th minute when AEL’s Kafou was sent off following an on-field review, allowing APOEL to extend their lead with goals from Stafylidis, Maoli, and a second from Pedroso.

Following the defeat, AEL Limassol entered a period of crisis. Coach Hugo Martins issued an apology, citing refereeing decisions and the red card as contributing factors. The club is now facing internal pressure to address a lack of tactical structure and defensive cohesion, while also managing serious injuries to key players Cătălin Cătălinovici and Gomis. In response to the heavy loss, Coach Martins is working on both tactical and psychological aspects to prepare the squad for an upcoming home match against Nea Salamis.

AEL Limassol has since stabilized their form, securing a 2-1 victory against Nea Salamis at the Alphamega Stadium during the third round of the Cyprus First Division. Although Nea Salamis equalized in the 53rd minute via Grancier, the match was decided in stoppage time when Gomes scored in the 96th minute. Nea Salamis was reduced to ten players after Angielski received a direct red card in the 90+4’ minute. This win brings AEL to six points after three matches as they prepare for upcoming league derbies.
