Especially in the first part of the match, it does not claim any quality laurels, since the expediencies of both teams to protect their backs in the defensive line made them wary of creating offensive activities.
This element is reinforced by the fact that the first good phase of the match was created in 41 ΄ for the team of Famagusta, when the place of Lamborde went out.
The rhythm is better in the second part. Nevertheless, without great opportunities again, however, the better mood of both teams and especially of AEL was evident, especially after he took the lead in the score.
The Limassol team found its way into the net, when in the 70th minute the referee whistled a penalty, when Junior's head hit Janissio's hand from close range. He seems to be strict, as he was close by, while the player had no sense of where the ball was going.
At the end of the penalties, Vuo took over, who was on target and made it 1-0, which was the final result. The football player from Ivory Coast was the one who gave AEL the lead in the matches against APOEL in the first match in GSP (1-0) and was considered important for the ticket to the quarterfinals.
Anorthosis had the opportunity to equalize at 90΄ + 1, but Degra did not win this time either from the eleven steps, repelling Lamborde's penalty. He had won it himself in an overthrow by Carlitos.
