Normally, a draw with Anorthosis at home isn’t too bad. But for Apollon, it feels disappointing…
Some fans wanted to see the team grab their 11th win in the Losada era. They hoped to start the playoffs six points clear at the top.
If AEK wins today at Dasaki, Apollon will drop to 3rd place. They would then begin the second phase with an away game against Pafos.
If they stay in second (if AEK loses or draws today), they will face APOEL in Limassol.
Fans who watched Sunday’s match on TV remember two missed chances in the second half.
First, Gaspar had an amazing opportunity from Spoljaric’s cross but missed from close range.
Later, a home defender made a bad back pass. Garry Rodrigues couldn’t take advantage of it, either by shooting or getting past Karlstrom.
No Apollo fan should be ungrateful or blame the coach and players for not beating Anorthosis at home.
The team’s main goal now is to secure second or third place in Phase B to reach Europe. They also have a chance in the cup, where winning would also lead them to Europe.
