Apollon Limassol in Europe 2018/2019

[Dutch Eagle]

EL Q1 July 12 and 19: Stumbras (LTU) / Apollon Limassol (CYP)

EL Q2 July 26 and August 2: Željezničar (BIH) / Narva Trans (EST) v Stumbras (LTU) / Apollon Limassol (CYP)

Good luck to Apollon!

[Dutch Eagle]

After a 1-0 loss away Apollon won their homegame with 2-0 and advanced to Q2 where they will face Zeljeznicar.

[Dutch Eagle]

Zeljeznicar - Apollon Limassol 1-2. A good result for Apollon.

[Dutch Eagle]

Apollon won 3-1 in their homegame and advanced with an aggregate score of 5-2.

Opponent in Q3 of EL will be the conquerer of Atromitos: Dynamo Brest of Belarus. First game will be on Cyprus.

[Dutch Eagle]

Apollon beat the conquerors of Atromitos 4-0. I repeat 4-0.

[Dutch Eagle]

A 1-0 loss was enough for Apollon. They progress 4-1 on aggregate.

Next game against FC Basel. First leg in PO of EL is a homegame. 

[Dutch Eagle]

The big big surprise happened. Apollon eliminated Basel on the awaygoal-rule. After the first game in Basel (the order of legs was reversed after the draw) Apollon was trailing 3-2. On Cyprus they won 1-0 thanks to a goal of Charalambos Kyriakou.

Apollon in GS of EL. The draw is today 14:00 EEST. Apollon is in pot 4 so it will be difficult to avoid a heavy draw.

[Dutch Eagle]

Heavy draw indeed but great names from the past (all a former winner of at least one European cup). I think the coach only needs to say to the players to enjoy those games and no other instructions.

[Dutch Eagle]

Apollon just lost with the slightest difference: 2-1 away in Olimpico against Lazio.

Luis Alberto 14’ 1-0

Ciro Immobile 84’ 2-0 (pen.)

Emilio José Zelaya 87’ 2-1
