They knew their task would be tough from the beginning. Omonia Aradippou is a strong opponent. They’ve shown this in recent games, with only two losses in the second round of the championship, against Pafos and Apollon. Plus, history shows that Apollon may win, but it’s never easy.
This was clear in the cup match between the two teams in Limassol. Apollon’s quick two goals seemed to guarantee victory and qualification. But Satsias’ team fought back, equalized, and took the match into extra time, where they eventually lost.
Still, Hernan Losada and his players reached their goal of making it to the ‘final four.’ Now, they need to keep up their good performance in the championship. In the cup, they are just two games away from the final. No matter who they face in the semifinals, a big effort will be needed to secure a spot in the grand final. They haven’t been there since 2018 and are aiming for their 10th cup overall.
