Sadness for the result – Special thanks to the fans

Πικρία για το αποτέλεσμα – Θερμές ευχαριστίες στον κόσμο

Today was the first home defeat for our team, this year, in Antonis Papadopoulos stadium. It was clear from the beginning that the game would probably be judged in the goal and Apollon was lucky enough to score in the 57th minute. A goal, that sealed the efforts of the two teams’ players.

During the first half, Anorthosis had the ball possession and controlled the match, although there weren’t any big chances for any of the teams. In the second half, the game got a faster pace and was open for either team. The goal seemed to be a matter of time. Our team got close twice, with Calvo, but it was Apollon to get lucky and score the winner in the 57th minute.

From there on, our team changed system and tactics, trying to reach to the equalizer. During that period of time, both teams had their chances for a goal, Anorthosis chances being clearer but did not become goals. Despite of the good appearance, the result leaves a bitter taste, exactly because the players showed that they deserved more.

What we keep from the game, is the massive fans presence in the stands, who we thank very much for their response to the players appeal to be there. Special thanks to the fans for their exceptional behavior during the game and the passion they passed on to the players. Of course the defeat made everyone sad but the presence of the fans and the effort of the players leave hope for the future.
