Returning to action after a league break is likely to present challenges for the teams, which are called upon to regain their competitive rhythm while also securing positive results. Omonia may have kept its fans on the edge of their seats for about 60 minutes yesterday (10/09), but in the end, it managed to get the job done, defeating Karmiotissa 3-0 in the 5th round of the Cyprus League by Stoiximan and picking up where they left off before the three-week break.
Henning Berg’s team went into the “Stelios Kyriakides” stadium as the clear favorite and made sure to prove it from the very first minutes. They took the initiative, dictated the pace, and maintained possession, though they struggled to find the back of the net. Brawers broke the deadlock in the 60th minute, paving the way for the three points, before Tanković (87’) and Satka (90’) sealed the final score. The former stood out with his presence, as he was the one who broke the deadlock and gave the “Greens” the composure they needed to manage the remainder of the match.

With this victory, the Nicosia-based team climbed alone to the top of the standings with 12 points and is now waiting for AEK and AEL to drop points so it can remain the sole leader. At the same time, the three points came at an ideal moment, as Omonia heads into a particularly demanding month with high morale, facing important matches both at home and abroad.
Now, Omonia is turning its attention to Thursday’s match (10/15, 7:45 p.m.) against Celje, for Matchday 2 of the Europa League League Phase, where it will aim to make it two wins in a row following its victory over Celta.
