Slovenia-Cyprus (16 Oct. 2018, Stadion Stotzice, Ljubljana)

[Omonoia9]

Margaca's got it, looking for Sotiriou, can't connect. It comes to Artymatas, he shoots! Belec is there to make the save

[Omonoia9]

Crnigoj the shot, save Panagi, and no rebound!

[Omonoia9]

Yellow against Kastanos, that makes 2. 2 yellows make a red. Red card against Kastanos.

[Omonoia9]

Luckily, they're saying it was just outside the box, no penalty as the free kick goes over the net. Still, it'll be a 10 man Cyprus trying to hang on

[Omonoia9]

Slovenia 1-1 Cyprus  FT

[Chris Tsamados]

Watched the second half of this game. Shame Greece can't emulate the same defensive display as this and we'd still be in with a shout of winning the league.

 

Demetriou basically sacrificed himself at the end by bringing down a Slovenian player who had a break on. Strangely he tried to argue it but if was definitely a straight red.   ?

Cyprus should  have got a result vs Bulgaria as well.

Could have. We got outplayed in that game pretty badly. Just failed to hang on.
