[Nikitas]

how did they played? according to the stats they barely had a chance. the result is not bad though.

[Omonoia9]

On the scoreboard it didn't look bad, but we were lucky in that regard.

Was a funny own goal

Cyprus always puts in 100% in matches

 

Greeks tend to turn it up when they're underdogs. I think we get arrogant when we're in the drivers seat. Even if you look at history we've historically been better as underdogs eg) Spartans vs. Persians. As apposed to being considered the favourites eg) Byzantium vs. Turkish Tribes.

 

Cyprus's edge is they're pretty much destined to always but underdogs barring a match against Gilbatrar.
