Omonia late show stuns Anorthosis

Omonia scored two late goals to leave Anorthosis shell-shocked in the Cyprus football championship on Wednesday at the Antonis Papadopoulos stadium in Larnaca.

With the hosts leading 1-0 through a 54th minute goal from Sekou Cisse, Omonia turned the match on its head when Matt Derbyshire equalised with five minutes remaining and the Englishman was at it again soon after, netting a dramatic 91st minute winner.

Elsewhere on Wednesday, second-placed Apollon kept up the pressure on leaders Apoel with a 2-0 away win over Doxa, while AEL beat Ermis 1-0.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
