APOEL “cleaned” Nea Salamina in Nicosia 3-0 in a summary process in the match that completed the 26th and last matchday of the Cypriot league and ended the regular season at the top and +2 ahead of second place and AEK Larnaca, leaving them visitors for three points in the playoffs.
The champions took the lead with the goal of Tasos Donis in the 35th minute after Mandziek was sent off in the 22nd minute. This made it 2-0 with Kvitaya in the 55′ and the “icing on the cake” by Makeda in the 63′.
Apollon Limassol “closed” the regular season in the top five, which defeated AEL 2-0 in the local derby, leaving the hosts theoretically out of the playoffs.
