The English School U15 Girls Triumph 5-0 Over AEK Larnaca
Kyveli Matsi was unstoppable, netting four goals in a powerful display, while Victoria Georgopoulou scored her first goal of the season with a precise finish. Anchoring the defense, Victoria and Stella Anastasi kept things solid at the back, with Popi Koumendis and Charitini Iosif adding depth and energy by pushing forward from the wings.
In midfield, the creative trio of Maria Leandrou, Emily Nikolaou, and Marina Loizou consistently created scoring opportunities and recovered possession, setting the pace of the game. On the wings, Nayia Stephanou, Despina Panayides, and Andrea Gavriel kept the opposition on their toes with relentless pressure and dynamic plays.
With this strong start to the season, the team heads into next week's derby against Apoel full of confidence and momentum. Keep up the fantastic work, girls!
