Pafos FC secures first-leg lead in cup semifinal against AEL

Pafos FC defeated AEL 2-1 in the first leg of the Coca-Cola Cup semifinal held at Alphamega Stadium. The visiting team took a 2-0 lead through effective playmaking, though AEL scored late in the first half to narrow the gap. Albert Thelades, the Pafos coach who has overseen 17 matches since January 9, 2026, utilized a revised tactical formation to stabilize the team. AEL manager Hugo Martins remains optimistic despite the loss and the suspension of player Bogdan for the second leg. The return match is scheduled for April 22 at the Stelios Kyriakides Stadium, where Pafos will aim to secure its third consecutive final appearance. Analysts noted that while Pafos relies heavily on individual player talent, they continue to face criticism regarding consistency and recent administrative turnover.
