Anorthosis secures victory over AEL

On April 27, 2026, Anorthosis defeated AEL in a match held in Limassol. The lone goal of the match was scored by Michalis Ioannou in the 28th minute with a powerful shot from the edge of the penalty area. This goal marked the first for the 25-year-old midfielder in his career. Reports regarding the goal's origin vary; one source credits an assist by Da Cruz following a heel pass after a mistake by Kyriakou, while another source attributes the opportunity to a significant error by the AEL goalkeeper. Ioannou, who is the team captain, has recently returned to action following a serious injury.
