APOEL & AEL end goalless in derby

CYPRIOT SOCCER (FIRST DIVISION): League leaders AEL Limassol visited Nicosia to face reigning champions APOEL. The home side was coached for the first time by the newly arrived Italian manager Paolo Tramezzani, who failed to win in his debut. On the other side, AEL had five wins in five games, however if we put aside the narrow 1:0 over Anorthosis, all the other games were against lower quality teams, so they had a real challenge in front of them.
