After the international break Cypriot football got to kick off again and again there were surprises maybe the fact that the games are being played behind closed doors and no home advantage for clubs and no vocal support has certainly shaken football.

The introduction of a new manager in Mick McCarthy has not woken up Apoel in fact losing at home to Olympiakos in their second game under the new manager and falling to 11th place in the league. Olympiakos scored in the 28th minute through Mantzis and Apoel were not able to recover.

Nea Salamina started the weekend at the bottom of the table and went up by two places to third from bottom by beating Omonia 2-1 they took an early lead through De Oliveira in the 9th minute, Omonia equalised in the 43rd minute through Papoulis and Nea Salamina scoring a winning goal through Wagner.

A great win for Nea Salamina new manager Savvas Damianou who has now managed them for three games and looking good with two draws versus Ethnikos Achna and Olympiakos and now a win versus Omonia.

Omonia manager Henning Berg will be looking to improve their league which has been very indifferent this season.
