Pafos FC secures 3-0 victory against Karmiotissa in league opener

On August 30, 2026, Pafos FC opened their Cyprus League by Stoiximan campaign with a decisive 3-0 victory over Karmiotissa at the Stelios Kyriakides Stadium. Despite Karmiotissa creating several notable scoring opportunities in the first half, the visitors demonstrated clinical efficiency. Domingos Quina broke the deadlock in the 45th minute, followed by a goal from N'Gama-leu in the 49th and a final strike by Anderson in the 61st. The match took place shortly after Pafos FC successfully qualified for the League Phase of the Conference League, forcing head coach Ricardo Sa Pinto to rotate his squad, with assistant Nuno Morais managing the team during the game due to a suspension.

Following this result, both teams are shifting their focus to upcoming fixtures. Karmiotissa is set to face Omonia 29M on September 4, while Pafos FC prepares for the Super Cup match against Omonia Nicosia, scheduled for September 3 at the Alphamega Stadium. This upcoming final will be officiated by referee Ioannis Christodoulou, marking the first time these two clubs have met in the history of the Super Cup tournament.
