Defeat-shock from the S.A. Limassol met the AEK Larnaca (2-1)! The pioneer of the Cypriot championship presented herself below the circumstances and gave… a gift to APOEL, who if they beat Doxa Katokopia (18:00), will rise to the top!
The home side opened the scoring in the 11th minute, Berahino latching onto Casa’s cross and coolly slotting past Piric for 1-0. As if that wasn’t enough, in the 35th minute, the team from Limassol once again found the way to the opposing net. After an excellent action by Papafotis, who passed whoever he found in front of him, Katsaniklic received the ball and with a close projection made it 2-0!
The only thing the visitors managed was to reduce the score in the 41st minute, with Triskowski being on target with a penalty kick for 2-1.
