APOEL FC - Athletic Club

APOEL FC 2 Athletic Club 0

Athletic Club have lost 2-0 against APOEL FC at GSP Stadium. Sotiriou and Gianniotas have scored the goals for the Cypriot squad. Therefore, after the 3-2 of the first leg, our team is eliminated from the UEL.

Today’s match has been a repetition of the script of the first leg: The Athletic looking for the box of our rival, possession, more shots and more strategy kicks, especially in the first part and, unfortunately, a tremendously resolute rival with regard to the goal.

The yellow team has gone backwards but the lack and clarity of ideas and definition of our team made impossible to match the contest, even when the APOEL has stayed with one less player due to a red card.

It is not the first or the last of the eliminations in any competition of the KO. Now the league is back, to continue fighting. And on Sunday another difficult match in San Mamés, the Granada but nothing new, by the way, in our long history.
