Apoel cruise through in Champions League qualifying

Apoel cruised into the next round of Champions League qualifying after a 3-0 win over Montenegrin side Sutjeska in Nicosia on Tuesday night sealed a 4-0 aggregate victory.

Leading 1-0 from last week’s first leg, Apoel’s Pavlovic scored twice in the first 25 minutes at the GSP stadium to leave the Cyprus champions in complete control of the tie.

Pavlovic scored a third after 66 minutes to complete his hat-trick, with Apoel now facing the winner of Wednesday night’s Dundalk v Qarabag match in the third qualifying round.

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.
