Without Andre Geralds and Omar Atzili, who were released from the club and signed this week with Maccabi Tel Aviv and Maccabi Haifa respectively, the Cypriot Apoel Nicosia hosted AAK Larnaca tonight (Wednesday) for a final game from the 15th round, which ended in 1: 1. Although it ran into a numerical disadvantage at an early stage, Ben Shehar’s team did not panic, mimicking the lag and achieving an important point towards the continuation of the underground struggles.
After the pair in the last game, Shehar started in the lineup but suffered as a result of the dismissal of Thomas de Vincenti who saw the red card in the 32nd minute and the Israeli, who started the move that led to a tie, was replaced (70). Ivan Trichkowski put the visitors ahead (59), but a minute later Belgian Victor Klonaridis equalized and set up the game with his first goal since November and the fourth of the season.
Watch the gate of Apoel Nicosia
After 18 games in the Cypriot league, Apoel Nicosia has a balance of 20 points and is still at the bottom of the table, with the gap between it and the penultimate place standing at a total of five points. On the other hand, the rival from Larnaca stopped a streak of three losses and remained in fifth place with 30 points.
