KOPA League Round Up Sunday January the 5th 2014

First Division

Livadia 0 New Salamis 4

New Salamis probably played their best game of the season with this win lifting them to second spot and one point behind the League leaders Rizokarpasso with a game in hand.

New Salamis started the game fiercely and never gave Livadia a chance to settle they were 1-0 up within five minutes when Stephano cut in and shot shot against the post with Kyri Portou there to latch onto the rebound and score. The second goal belonged to Steve Velandia when from just outside the box he shot past the keeper.

The third goal came in the 22nd minute when Richard Georgiou crossed for Stephanos to hit it firmly into the back of the net.

In the second half Livadia came out a different team creating chances and in fact had two penalties one taken by Adem Ali and the other by Elias Katsoulides and both saved by the New Salamis keeper Erbil Bozkurt. The fourth goal for New Salamis was a lob over the oncoming Livadia keeper Anthony Manoli by Chris Benjamin.

Aradippou 3 Komi Kebir 1

Aradippou eased their relegation worries with this 3-1 win over Komi Kebir and leap frogged over Omonia into 6th place. It was not an easy game for them Komi gave them a hard time in fact Komi hit the woodwork three times with Mirauld and Guilio their dangermen. Aradippou played some very neat football and was rewarded with two goals from Tasos. Komi Kebir got one back just before the break with a goal from Mirauld. A goal late on in the game from Aradippou player manager Marcel ensured his team went away with a 3-1 win.

Second Division

Brotherhood 4 Pendayia 3

Second division League leaders Brotherhood got a fright from a much improved Pendayia who led three times in this game 1-0, 2-1 then 3-2 but each time Brotherhood fought back and eventually went onto win in the dying minutes 4-3 and what an exciting end it was with Pendayia scoring in the 85th minute with Antonis Kallis to put Pendayia 3-2 up and in the 87th and last minute Brotherhood scored to make it 3-3 and 4-3 in their favour with the two goals coming from Paul Yiannakas free kick and Mark Doyle.

KLN 3 Arachne 4

Another high scoring game in the second division a feast for the watching fans Arachne were wining 2-1 half time with goals a stunning 30 yard strike from Chris Constantinides and a great solo effort from Damien Spyrou with Jake Laoudas and in a space of five minutes after the break Arachne increased their lead to 3-1 but KLN managed to equalise with their goals coming from Max Papacosta and Zack Charilaou (penalty). Ten minutes later they were able to get their winner with a well taken goal from Antony Panayi. This win lifts Arachne into second place five points behind the leaders Brotherhood.
