Play–offs

[edit]

On 6 April 2013, APOEL suffered its first defeat after an eight straight wins run, losing 3–0 at Omonia in the first Championship play-off match. The same time Anorthosis also lost 0–3 at home by AEK Larnaca and so APOEL remained at top with a six-point gap from the second place. On 13 April 2013, APOEL hosted Anorthosis and maintained their six-point advantage thanks to a 0–0 draw at GSP Stadium. On 21 April 2013, APOEL beat AEK Larnaca 0–1 at GSZ Stadium, thanks to Mário Sérgio's direct free-kick in the 63rd minute and opened up an eight-point gap over the second placed team Anorthosis who drew 0–0 against Omonia. On 27 April 2013, APOEL lost 0–1 at home to AEK Larnaca, but one day later Anorthosis also lost 4–0 at Omonia and APOEL were eventually crowned champions for the 22nd time in their history after a very difficult and harsh season. On 12 May 2013, APOEL celebrated their 22nd Championship title in style with an impressive 4–3 win over their arch rivals Omonia and ensured coach Ivan Jovanović’s last home game was a memorable one. Efstathios Aloneftis scored his first goal against his former club, Mario Budimir and Nuno Morais also got on the score sheet, before Gustavo Manduca scoring the winner in the 83rd minute after converting a penalty. At the end of the match, Marinos Satsias, Constantinos Charalambidis and Ivan Jovanović lifted all together the Championship trophy in front of 16,000 fans to officially crown APOEL as the Cypriot First Division champions for the season. On 18 May 2013, APOEL lost at Anorthosis by 2–1, while Gustavo Manduca scored his 12th league goal, in APOEL's last match of the season.
