  /  nebronhames

It is an historic night for Cypriot side Pafos.

They beat Villarreal in Kolossi thanks to Derrick Luckassen’s header from Ken Sema’s corner.

It is a historic result for the Cypriot side who earn their first ever win in the group stage/league phase of the UEFA Champions League.

It was the first victory by a Cypriot club in the UCL since February 2012, when APOEL Nicosia beat Lyon at home in the round of 16.

On 23 October AEK Larnaca beat Crystal Palace 1-0 in the Conference League.

And after Pafos win, Cyprus are 4th in this season’s UEFA Rankings. 

They’ve collected more points than La Liga & Serie A.
