The attracts between Aris and AEK, in addition to the defeat of Omonia, didn’t push and weren’t a severe motivation for the APOEL footballers within the away sport in opposition to Nea Salamina.
The matchday, which developed ideally for the blue and yellow, led to a stalemate and the distinction from the highest elevated to 14 factors. It can now be utopian for any of the blue-and-yellows to speak concerning the title, with the sensible situation in the intervening time for an exit to Europe through the league being strictly restricted to third place and under.
The attract “Ammochostos” left solely bitterness and disappointment. Cepak's personal purpose and the best way the workforce defended has been the large image of APOEL for the reason that starting of the 12 months. The primary half, as rightly admitted by Mr. Jimenez was the worst throughout his tenure.
Within the replay powered by El Arabi, the workforce tried, appeared for the reversal and virtually received it. However how a lot ought to the Moroccan do? The penalty was a purpose, the following section was kicked by Andos and the third hit the submit.
The underside line is that APOEL brings out all its pathogens in each high-risk sport. He can’t restrict them. And if it occurs as soon as, there isn’t a second time. On account of this, the workforce loses consecutive factors and sees the excellence prepare… whistle.
It was the fifth consecutive away sport that the blue-yellows don't win! The final victory was on the expense of Omonia Aradippou. Attracts and defeats since then.
With so many factors misplaced, no work could be achieved and that is mirrored within the scoreboard which exhibits APOEL at -14 from the highest and -11 from the second Mars.
* Relating to the penalty that Jimenez requested for holding El Arabi, he’s proper, nonetheless, the Moroccan gave the impression to be uncovered at first of the section. Clearly, the Spaniard couldn’t have a transparent image of the offside, which he could discover out within the replays.
