Anorthosis advances to Champions League third qualifying round
Nicosia, Aug 3 (CNA) - Cypriot refugee football club Anorthosis of
Turkish-occupied Famagusta advances to the Champions League third
qualifying round, after disqualifying Turkish Trabzonspor in the first
meeting of Turkish and Cypriot football clubs on European level ever.
Trabzonspor won the second leg of the second qualifying round with 1-0.
In the first leg in Nicosia Anorthosis beat the Turkish team 3-1.
Trabzonspor opened the score in the 40th minute with superstar-player
Fatih Tekke (top scorer of the Turkish Football league). Anorthosis had
an even more difficult task since the 73rd minute when Cypriot
mid-fielder Nicos Katsavakis was sent off the pitch with a second
yellow card.
In the third qualifying round, Anorthosis will face the Scottish
Rangers. The first match will take place on August 10 and the second on
August 17.
