Match Recap

AEK Larnaca didn't need fireworks to settle this one, just two second-half strikes that Omonia Nicosia couldn't answer. Riad Bajić broke the deadlock four minutes into the second half, and Amor Layouni doubled the lead on 69 minutes to put the result beyond doubt. The 2-0 win lifts AEK to third in the 1. Division table on 13 points, nudging past fourth-placed Omonia, who sit just a point behind despite matching form across their last five games. History leaned Omonia's way coming in, with AEK winless in their last three meetings against their city rivals, so this was overdue payback. Neither side has anyone near R. Mmaee's 21-goal haul at the top of the scoring charts, but Bajić and Layouni did exactly what their table position demanded on the day. For a club still finding its scoring touch against this particular opponent, breaking the hoodoo with two clean finishes inside twenty second-half minutes is the kind of statement that matters more than the scoreline suggests. Watch how Bajić opens the scoring just after the restart, then see Layouni's finish that turned a nervy lead into a comfortable one.
