Our team had a good performance overall in the 1-1 draw against CSKA 1948.
The coach chose to rest some players, while also aiming to give playing time to all 20 footballers who were part of the match squad. Young players Leventis, Dimitriou, and Georgiou made their unofficial debuts with the first team.
Despite the players feeling heavy-legged from the hard training sessions of the previous days, the team largely attempted to play proactive football and managed to create a few very good chances to score, in addition to Correia's goal.
Artem Radkov and his coaching team, wanted to manage the players' minutes, which is why the only ones who played the full 90 minutes were Gaustad and Theocharous.
On the downside for our team, Mayambela faced an issue early in the match, feeling discomfort in his left foot hamstring and being substituted. At first glance, the injury does not appear serious, but the player will undergo medical tests tomorrow to determine the extent of the problem.
Aris: Vaná Alves (46' Zadro), Sané (83' Georgiou), Goldson (63' Dimitriou), Loukoubár (46' Balogun), Correia (57' A. Dimitriou), Theocharous, Sarfó (83' Loukoubár), Mayambela (10' Semedo), Gaustad, Bengtsson (63' Leventis), Kvilitaia (46' Theodosiou).
