Cyprus League Drama Unfolds as Achnas and Apollon Share Spoils

In a pulsating encounter in the Cypriot First Division, Ghanaian midfielder Emmanuel Lomotey made headlines as he scored the opening goal for Ethnikos Achnas in a dramatic 2-2 draw against Apollon Limassol.

Lomotey wasted no time stamping his authority on the game, netting a composed finish to give Achnas an early lead. The match seemed to tilt firmly in Achnas’ favor when Julian Bonetto doubled their advantage in the 53rd minute, putting them in a commanding position.

Apollon, however, had other ideas. The visitors missed a golden opportunity to equalize earlier in the game when Pedro Marques saw his penalty saved. Determined to make amends, Apollon surged back into contention. Giorgos Malekkidis reignited their hopes with a well-taken goal on the hour mark, setting up a tense finale.

Just as Achnas appeared poised to secure all three points, Marques redeemed himself with a dramatic 90th-minute equalizer, ensuring the spoils were shared in a gripping contest.

Lomotey, a vital cog in the Achnas midfield this season with nine appearances, continues to prove his worth, delivering performances that elevate his club’s fortunes in tight matches.
