AEK failed to defend their title in the Coca-Cola Cup, losing 2-1 to Omonia. Imanol Idiakez's team found themselves at a disadvantage after conceding two early goals, and although they reduced the deficit in the second half, they couldn't equalize. This was AEK's second consecutive defeat, following a loss in the league. However, the season is not lost for the 'yellow-greens', as they remain on track in the league and have secured a spot in the Conference League Round of 16. Idiakez and his players are now focusing on their next league game, against Freedom24 Krasava ΕΝΥ at the 'Arena' on Sunday.
