Anorthosis come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and APOEL did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

A bad afternoon for APOEL against Ethnikos Achnas
1‑2 to Ethnikos Achnas, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
