At Apollon Limassol this morning (Thursday) they are collecting the pieces after the defeat they suffered last night at Sami Ofer from Barak Becher's apprentices, who provided four volleys on the way to the playoff stage of the Champions League.
Following the 0:4 return next week in Cyprus, it became almost unnecessary, a fact that was not missed by the local media.
On the Cypriot "Athletici" website they wrote: "Apollon's dream turned into a nightmare. The own goal opened the way to the painful defeat, and shattered Apollon's dream of the Champions League. It ended 4:0, and only the beam prevented an even bigger defeat."

On the Greek website sport-fm they wrote: "Maccabi Haifa sent Apollon... to Olympiakos! For now it seems that the two teams will meet soon, if Olympiakos beats Sloven Bratislava on Thursday. The team from Israel presented another excellent performance, and they can start packing their bags for the Champions League playoffs Maccabi controlled the game from the first minute to the last."

Limassol coach Alexander Zorniger summed up the difficult evening in Haifa: "We had a very disappointing evening. We didn't defend well and we didn't attack. We will analyze it and try to recover in the next game. We simply didn't stand up to the pressure, we didn't play as a team. The Maccabi Haifa players reached the square easily. This It doesn't matter who made a mistake, it's important that we manage to correct our mistakes by next week."
