It had to be the match of the season so far with two KOPA League teams in the semi finals of the LFA Sunday Challenge Cup. Olympia v Anorthosis it was a game worthy of being a final.
Both teams put up a good display and you could sense both teams were nerbous.and it was Anorthosis who created the first goal chance when Danny Coolridge found himself on the edgd of the box and hit the bar with a storming shot and the ball rebounded to Anthony Macdonald who headed over thr bar.
In a highly skilled match and a delight to watch and it was Olympia who were the first to break the deadlock when Elia Katsioloudis scored anf they went into the break one nil up.
It was not long after the break that Anothosis equalised when Adem Ali cut in from the left and shot from the edge of the box straight into the far cornrer of the net making it 1-1.
It was now any one’s game and both teams pushing for another goal that would possibly end up being the winner.
The eventual winner came in the 75th minute with a blasting 40 yard shot from Furlong into the bottom far corner of the net.
Olympia will now play in the final the Turkish League team Dumplupinar who beat
Cray 4-0 in the other semi final.
