A great match between Komi Kebir FC & Omonia which ended 4-3 to Komi Kebir . Komi started very well and raced to a two  goal lead through Peter Vassiliou and George Demosthous.. A lapse from Komi at a corner saw Fodi Christodoulou pull a goal back from a corner. 2-1 at half time. Komi got a 3rd from George Demosthenous  again and the game seemed over. However, The second half became a reversal of the first with Omonia on top and Harry Phillipou pulling the strings in midfield.

Minutes later – one of Omonia’s young stars Kyri Georgiou scored an unstoppable goal from 20yards and it was 3-3. A tense 20mins followed and Komi  Kebir with a final flourish came back to win the game with a winner on the 86th minute from George Demosthenous  who combined well with Antony to finish after the keeper had made a good stop from his first shot.
