Division Two Cup final in memory of Michael Tzouvanni
Pantel 1 St Panteleimon 2
New River seem to be the place to be on Monday this week with hundreds of fans turning up to see the KOPA league division two cup final in memory of Michael Tzouvanni.
The match kicked off after a one minute silence in memory of Michael Tzouvanni (Left) who died tragically in Thailand in 2012.
The game started at a fast pace with an early goal scored by Iglik Sevaj, but Pantel were quick to react and started playing some good football. but again 15 minutes later in the 25th minute, a Nicos Salapatas goal increased St Panteleimon’s lead to 2-0.
Pantel then settled down, playing nice football with Marley probing continuously for them and putting a stamp on the game with Pantel coming close with headers, and shots twice being stopped on the line. But it was not long before they reduced the score to 2-1 with a fine goal from George Costa. They now felt they were on top and looking to close on a equaliser but with three minutes to go the match was stopped as a result of a players brawl but minutes later the game continued with the game fizzling out to end with St Panteleimon the Saints earning a Division two double of league And cup.
The cup and medals were presented to both teams and officials by Jo Tzouvanni the brother of Michael Tzouvanni.
