AEL Limassol Survives and Conceição Leads the Way

AEL Limassol has managed to keep its hopes alive for European qualification after progressing in the Cyprus Cup, defeating Aris Limassol 1-0. Despite being some distance from the European qualification spots, this victory provides a boost to the players' and management's morale. Sergio Conceição is highlighted as the key player in AEL's cup run, having won and converted the penalty that secured the win and progression. He had also scored the equalizing goal in the first round, taking the game to extra time. AEL now returns to league action, where they will face Anorthosis at the 'Antonis Papadopoulos' stadium on Sunday. The team aims for a second consecutive league win, following their success against Akritas Chlorakas. Finally, there is a possibility of one more transfer to the team in January. AEL has already added Zakaria Savo, Daniel Paroutis, and Tapelo Maseko to the squad, and is considering adding another player.
