Apollon’s perfect start comes to an end

Apollon lost their 100 per cent league record on Monday night in a 1-1 draw at Doxa Katokopias.

The Limassol side, who had won their opening five league matches, needed a 78th-minute equaliser by Fotios Papoulis to claim a point that leaves them in second place, three points behind AEL with a game in hand.

Elsewhere on Monday, AEK won 2-1 away at Anorthosis

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
