APOEL refused to lose and secured its first away victory.
In a match where, literally right off the bat (30 seconds in), they were down a man due to Sastre’s ejection, they didn’t give up and managed in the end to secure three valuable points that bring them within three points of the top.
Clearly, the red card Omonia Aradippou received helped, as it evened out the match, but other factors also played a decisive role.
First, the experience of Tasos Bakasetas, who scored both goals and reaffirmed what a true leader he is when the pressure is on. Also, Vid Belec, who has improved significantly this season, “saved” the “blue-and-yellows” with two huge saves in the 80th and 90+4th minutes.
