Apollon goal against Pafos FC disallowed following VAR intervention

During a football match between Apollon and Pafos FC on October 31, 2026, a goal scored by Apollon's player Ozbolt in the 6th minute was disallowed after a video assistant referee (VAR) review. The scoring opportunity originated from a free kick by Escrig, which deflected off Brito before reaching Ozbolt, who converted the chance from close range.

The goal was overturned due to the involvement of Apollon's defender Kvinda in the play. Officials determined that Kvinda was in an offside position when he challenged Brito for the ball, thereby interfering with the play while in an irregular position. Consequently, the referee ruled the goal invalid after reviewing the VAR footage.

This incident remains a pivotal moment in the ongoing match, as the disallowed goal kept the scoreline level during the early stages of the encounter.
