Champions APOEL roll on

APOEL Coach Ivan Jovanovic was pleased with the newly-crowned champions after their  2-1 victory over Anorthosis in the third round of the national championship playoffs at the Antonis Papadopoulos Stadium in Larnaca over the weekend.

“We played well as we did not have in the back of our minds that the season is finished,” he said. “The idea was to try and hit them on the counter-attack and we managed to execute the game plan perfectly,” he added.

“Anorthosis created some good opportunities in the second half but we defended well and deservedly won,” Jovanovic concluded.

Ivan Trickovski continued his great from this season as he scored both goals for APOEL to take his tally to 11 goals for the season.
