Pafos FC and APOEL draw in sixth round of Cyprus League

Pafos FC and APOEL played to a 0-0 draw at the Stelios Kyriakides Stadium on October 19, 2026, during the sixth round of the Cyprus League by Stoiximan. Despite several high-quality scoring chances and impressive performances from both goalkeepers, including a late attempt by Ioannou, neither side managed to secure a victory. Following the match, Pafos coach Ricardo Sa Pinto acknowledged the team's difficulty in converting offensive pressure into goals, while APOEL assistant coach Nikolas Karampetakis, standing in for the suspended Nikos Papadopoulos, highlighted the team's defensive passion and confirmed that APOEL's goal remains to finish in the top spot of the standings.

The game took a toll on both squads regarding player health. APOEL reported injury concerns for Limnios, Carrillo, Mancini, and Vrontis, with Carrillo’s muscular issue requiring medical examinations. Additionally, Pafos suffered an injury to Pepe, complicating their preparations for the upcoming UEFA Conference League match against Riga on October 22. Pafos currently struggles at home with only two points from three matches, while APOEL must now prepare for their next league game against Omonia 29th of May on October 25, where they will be without suspended players Stafylidis and Sastre.
