Pafos FC writes European history

·

Pafos FC lived another historic moment on Thursday, as it celebrated its first victory in European competitions, which also brought their first qualification.

The light blues defeated Zalgiris 3-0 in the thirty-minute overtime, overturning its 0-1 loss in Lithuania and advancing to the 3rd qualifying round of the Europa Conference League.

Juan Carlos Carcedo’s Cypriot team showed an aggressive attitude from the start of the match against Zalgiris and in the 8th minute they scored with Tankovic hitting the crossbar.

The same player in the 21st minute found the way to the net with a shot, after an assist from Zairo, while things became even more favourable for Pafos with the visitors remaining with ten players due to the dismissal of Zachary. Two minutes later, the Cypriot team had a post on a direct free kick from Luckassen.

The numerical advantage of the Pafos team gave them the opportunity to control the match. They were saved in the 58th minute when Verbitskas’ shot hit the post and in the half-hour overtime they were the absolute dominators taking the desired goal.

The score was tilted in their favour in the 101′ when Anderson, who had previously had two chances, with a reverse scissor left the goalkeeper stunned, while the icing on the cake came in the 118′, when after a cross from Ilias, Dragomir put his name of the scorers’ table, writing the final 3-0.
