Recent football results in Cyprus and upcoming cup semi-finals
APOEL suffered a 2-0 defeat against Omonia, further complicating their season and diminishing their hopes for European qualification via the league. Meanwhile, Apollon Limassol lost 3-0 to Aris Limassol, which ended a 17-match unbeaten run for manager Hernan Losada. The match between Aris and Apollon saw a notable VAR intervention at the 94th minute, where a fourth goal for Aris was cancelled due to the ball hitting the referee. Both APOEL and Apollon are now shifting their full focus to the upcoming Cyprus Cup semi-final, which is scheduled for Wednesday, April 22, 2026. APOEL coach Pablo Garcia is looking for a path to save the club's season through the cup, while Losada prepares his team with several returning players. These matches are considered vital for the clubs' financial and sporting future, especially for those lacking a secure European spot through the league rankings.
