Match Report
APOEL squeezed through against its opponents from F.Y.R. Macedonia after a late goal finally broke the aggregate deadlock. Previously our team hit the crossbar twice – through Chrysostomous Michail and Nenad Mirosavljević. Pelister had Kire Ristevski sent off in the 77th minute and were eventually broken down five minutes later when Jean Paulista was brought down in the area. Chrysis Michail converted the spot-kick and scored the only goal of the game.
