Omonia secures 3-0 victory over Karmiotissa
On October 9, 2026, Omonia Nicosia defeated Karmiotissa 3-0 at the Stelios Kyriakidis Stadium in the fifth round of the Cyprus League by Stoiximan. After a goalless first half where a penalty call for Omonia was overturned by VAR due to a handball by Montnor, Luc Brauers finally broke the deadlock in the 60th minute following an assist from Panagiotis Andreou. The victory was secured in the final minutes with goals from Tankovic in the 88th minute and Satka in the 90th minute.
The match marked Omonia's return to domestic action after a three-week league break. Acting manager Hector Gonzalez, covering for the suspended Henning Berg, praised the team's professional performance and their ability to maintain composure against Karmiotissa’s defensive setup. Karmiotissa coach Alexis Garpozis acknowledged Omonia's superiority, noting that his team struggled to retain possession throughout the game.
With this win, Omonia rose to the top of the league standings with 11 points. The club is now preparing for their upcoming UEFA Europa League match against Celje in Slovenia this Thursday.
