AEL secured a dramatic qualification to the quarter-final stage of the Coca-Cola Cup, defeating Aris with a penalty from Sergio Conceicao in the last moments of the match. The Limassol team demonstrated greater desire and passion compared to their opponents, also creating several opportunities. The change in technical leadership with Hugo Martins appears to have a positive impact on the team's performance, and this victory provides a significant boost for the future. Given the team's progress in the league, the Cup now represents the only opportunity for distinction, and management and players are aiming for the title. AEL is awaiting the draw while simultaneously preparing for their away game against Anorthosis on Sunday.
