Omonia defeats Apollon Limassol as Ryan Mmaee sets scoring record and goalkeeper Kyriakidis departs
Omonia Nicosia defeated Apollon Limassol 5-2 in a league match on May 22, 2026. During this game, Omonia forward Ryan Mmaee scored two goals, bringing his seasonal total to 25. This performance makes him the highest-scoring player in the Cypriot league since the 2007-08 season, surpassing Matt Derbyshire. Historically, only Lukasz Sosin performed better with 28 goals in the 2005-06 season. Apollon coach Hernan Losada stated that the defeat was not a true reflection of his team's potential, as he managed his roster to keep players rested for the upcoming Cup final against APOEL. Additionally, Omonia manager Henning Berg confirmed that 27-year-old goalkeeper Charalampos Kyriakidis is leaving the club after seven years. Berg noted that while an agreement for a contract extension was reached, the player changed his mind within 24 hours and is expected to join Paphos FC on a three-year deal.
