The decisive moment came in the second half when Pafos's attacking dynamism broke through Apollon's defense.

Despite a spirited effort by Apollon, particularly later in the match, they struggled to break down Pafos’s compact defensive structure. The hosts did create a few notable chances but were humbled by an outstanding performance from Pafos’s goalkeeper, who preserved the clean sheet with his saves.

The win extends Pafos's unbeaten streak. This result underscores the gap between the league leaders and the chasing pack, as Pafos continues to establish themselves as title favourites this season.

For Apollon, the focus now shifts to regrouping and addressing their offensive inefficiencies as they prepare for upcoming fixtures against strong opponents​
