In our fifth participation in the cup final we were able to win our third cup. In the first round we faced AS Ormidias, which we defeated in Tsirio 5-0 while in Ormidia we brought a \u00a0drew 3-3. In the next phase we faced Aris and won it in both games with the same score (1-0).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the quarterfinals we faced the Union, which had the same fate as Aris in both games (4-1 in Tsirio and 2-0 in Paralimni).One step before the final (semifinal) we played with Omonia, where we brought two \u00a0drew. First in Makareio 1-1 and then in Tsirio 0-0, passing to the final with the goal we achieved away from home.<\/p>\n

Thus, on June 23, 1986, we reached the final, where after a draw of the two courts (Makareiou and Tsireiou) we faced the then champion APOEL in Tsirio. We played as champions that day and after a very good performance we won 2-0 and won the third cup in our history.<\/p>\n
