CONCLUSION

Apollon delivered a dominant performance across both halves to claim a four-goal margin on the road. The early two-goal lead at halftime allowed them to manage the game while Dila played with reduced numbers after the dismissal. Possession dominance and clinical finishing produced the 0-4 scoreline. With the aggregate now heavily tilted, Apollon hold a clear advantage entering the second leg. Dila will need significant improvement and a full squad to mount any recovery in the return fixture.
