Apollon Limassol defeats AEK Larnaca 1-0 to secure tenth consecutive victory
On February 14, 2026, Apollon Limassol secured a 1-0 away victory against AEK Larnaca at the Arena stadium. Tomas Brandon scored the decisive goal in the 33rd minute, marking his sixth consecutive game with a goal. This win represents Apollon’s tenth consecutive victory across all competitions, including eight league matches and two cup games, establishing a new club record under manager Hernan Losada. Following the result, Apollon occupies third place in the standings, trailing second-place AEK by one point and leaders Omonia by nine points. AEK manager Imanol Idiakez attributed the loss to defensive lapses and player fatigue, noting that striker Cabrera suffered an injury expected to sideline him for three to four weeks. While Apollon’s spokesperson Fanourios Konstantinou emphasized the goal of European qualification, Losada expressed belief in further achievements. AEK had previously been on a four-match winning streak before this defeat. The victory has been characterized by local media as a validation of President Nikos Kirzis's decision to hire Losada in late 2025.
