APOEL looks to overturn deficit against Lyon

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP)—APOEL Nicosia will again try to defy expectations and overturn a 1-0 deficit against Lyon in the second leg of their Champions League matchup Wednesday to continue its historic Champions League run.
APOEL has already become the first Cypriot team to reach the round of 16 of the tournament and will rely on its home-field advantage to go even further. The team has only lost once in 10 European matches at Nicosia’s GSP stadium, and earned group-stage wins over Shakhtar Donetsk and Porto there.
The small club is still considered the underdog against a much more experienced Lyon, which is playing in the last 16 for the ninth straight season.
