KOPA League cup fever
The strong wind did not stop a good turnout of people for the Omonia v Olympia cup tie.
There was good football from both sides and it looked like Omonia were taking advantage the windy conditions and seem to be on top. Both teams never really got close to scoring and if they did there was no finishing touch.
Full time ended 0-0 and they went into extra time.
Omonia took the lead when from a Charlie Nelson throw in he found his brother Jamie who headed the ball home to give Omonia the lead.
Omonia withstood the pressure from Olympia that was to follow. And with two minutes left in the second period of extra time Omonia broke away Frankie Silinou charging down the left he passed to Charlie Nelson who shot pulling off a save but Omonia’s Antonio Michael was laying in wait to tap the ball home.
