Enosis grab first points of the season, Doxa and Karmiotissa share spoils in 3-3 thrilller

Enosis Neon Paralimniou picked up their first points of the season defeating AEK by 2-1 despite falling behind very early in the game.

Ivan Triscovski gave AEK the lead in the third minute after the Enosis defenders were caught napping allowing the AEK striker to turn and fire past Gacefski.

The introduction of Udoji in the second half gave the home side the firepower they lacked and they equalized just before the hour mark through Baloteli.

Udoji who had tormented the AEK backline for most of the second half scored the winner 11 minutes from the end.

On the balance of play Enosis deserved their win that lifted them off the foot of the table for the first time this season

Kikas began the revival in the 69th minute and secured the point for his team in the third minute of added time while Sadik had reduced the deficit to a single goal a couple of minutes earlier.
