In an exciting match in the first Division, AEZ Zakakiou hosted AEL Limassol on December 17, 2023, where the guests emerged triumphant by 4 goals to 1.

AEL Limassol's attack was clinical and highly efficient, breaking the deadlock in the 31st minute, and increasing their lead just over a minute later. This demonstrates that AEL Limassol's striking force was not only technically skilled but also exceptionally well timed. AEZ Zakakiou's response was fairly quick though, pulling one goal back in the 39th minute, adding a glimmer of hope for the home side.

In the second half, AEL Limassol's dominate performance continued. Determined not to lose their grip, they scored their third goal only about 19 minutes into the second half, followed by a fourth goal in the 92nd minute, putting the game well out of reach for AEZ Zakakiou.

Despite AEZ Zakakiou taking more advantage of set pieces, dominating the corner kicks count 7 to 5, they failed to convert those opportunities to their advantage. While it shows the team had an aggressive approach and ability to win possession, the lack of precision in the final third ultimately affected the outcome of the match.

Offsides were a remarkably significant difference in the match. AEZ Zakakiou were caught in the offside trap twice, while AEL Limassol didn't see themselves in such a situation a single time. This data suggests Limassol's better timing and understanding of the opponent's defense pattern, while Zakakiou needed to address their run of play.

Discipline was fairly similar among both teams, with each team being shown three yellow cards. However, the timing of the cards was interesting. AEZ Zakakiou were shown a card early in the first half, something that could have affected their aggressiveness and possibly the morale of the team.

In conclusion, AEL Limassol's sharper attacking force in turning goal opportunities to real goals, and superior timing to avoid offsides altogether were key factors in their convincing win. AEZ Zakakiou, on the other hand, showed interesting promise, with their ability to win corner kicks and early responsiveness to conceding, but they will need to refine their execution in the final third in upcoming games.
