Match report

Apollon Limassol women's team and Czarni Sosnowiec played out a 3-3 draw in the second qualifying round semi-final of the UEFA Champions League on 5 August 2026 before Czarni won on penalties. The match stretched into extra time after both sides exchanged goals through the first half and early second half. By then, tensions had built considerably, and the shootout proved decisive. M. Mooney opened the scoring for Apollon in the 11th minute, and K. Milek equalised for Czarni just seven minutes later. N. Hudson restored Apollon's lead before the interval, only for I. Witkowska to respond almost immediately after the break. K. Freda then gave Apollon another advantage in the 50th minute, but P. Sarapata brought Czarni level before any substitutions had been made. And here's the thing about this match — it stayed balanced despite the back-and-forth nature. Apollon made two changes, bringing on E. Giannou and M. Georgiou, while Czarni introduced O. Katowicz and Z. Burzan together in the 69th minute. The visitors also brought on K. Milek late in regular time, but neither side could find a winner before extra time began. The game turned to penalties after both teams failed to break through. S. Hardy missed for Apollon first, and K. Miksone converted for Czarni. N. Hudson then missed his spot-kick for the hosts, allowing P. Sarapata to fire home for the visitors. M. Ficzay, Z. Buszewska, J. Prvulovic, and O. Lapinska all scored for Czarni, while Apollon's attempts had already fallen short. To be fair, the statistics tell only part of the story. Apollon registered 114 attacks with 44% possession, while Czarni managed 144 attacks and held 56% of the ball. Both teams recorded 11 shots on target, though Apollon showed slightly better accuracy at 79% compared to 73%. The hosts earned seven corners to the visitors' ten, and neither side received a red card. The result eliminates Apollon from Champions League qualification, ending what had been a mixed run for the Cypriot side. Their recent form included a 2-3 defeat to Hibernian, a 0-1 loss to Young Boys, and a 2-3 loss to ŽNK Mura in previous seasons. Czarni Sosnowiec, meanwhile, comes off a 5-0 victory over ŁKS Łódź and has been finding their rhythm in Polish competition. Three yellow cards were shown to each side throughout the contest. K. Freda and A. Tsolakis received bookings for Apollon, while O. Lapinska, J. Prvulovic, Z. Buszewska, and E. Sobierajska were cautioned for Czarni. S. Hardy also picked up a yellow for the hosts before the penalty shootout began. By then, the match had already decided itself in dramatic fashion. Czarni Sosnowiec advance to the next round, while Apollon return to domestic competition with nothing to show for their European campaign. The penalty procedure was straightforward, with no further misses after the initial pair of failures.
