Pafos FC achieved a historic victory on Thursday against Omonia for the play offs of UEFA Conference League and progressed to the Round of “16” of the UEFA Conference League.
Pafos beat Omonia with 2-1 and in combination with the 1-1 outcome of the first leg in GSP Stadium, progresses to the next Round.
According to UEFA’s website, Jairo hit the bar before Bruno profited from a defensive mix-up following a corner to put Pafos ahead after 28 minutes. Former Manchester United and Inter forward Stevan Jovetić scored the equaliser on the hour, but Pafos responded well, with Jonathan Silva getting what proved to be the winner in the first all-Cypriot UEFA club competition tie five minutes later after connecting with Muamer Tankovic’s back-heeled pass.
APOEL, the other Cypriot team that participated in the play offs of the Conference League, was defeated by the Slovenian NK Celje with 2-0 in GSP Stadium and disqualified from the next round. In the first leg in Slovenia APOEL and Celje draw with 2-2.
The draw of the Round of “16” of Conference League will take place on Friday at 15:00 in Switzerland.
Pafos will face either Lugano from Switzerland or Djurgarden from Sweden.
