APOEL midfielder Constandinos Charalambides tapped in from close range to earn his side a point in a hard fought match in Larnaca against AEK Saturday.
AEK scored in the 28th minute when Joan Tomas reacted the quickest after his penalty kick was saved. But APOEL responded almost immediately with the Cypriot international midfielder finding space in the six yard box to squeeze his shot under the keeper and earn the visitors a precious point.
In the day’s other game Aris beat AEK Kouklion 4-0. Mihai Dina scored twice for the hosts and opened the scoring in the sixth minute, Daemen added the second in the 39th minute to send the home side in 2-0 at half-time. Okeye added a third in the 70th minute to all but end the contest and Dina added his second and his side’s fourth in the final minutes of the game to add the gloss to a good performance by the Limassol side.
