- 23' A moment of madness from Dorde Denic on 23 minutes earns him a Yellow card. Apollon FC Lemesos will be frustrated.
- 28' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His OFI side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
- 33' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Dorde Denic suffering a number of foals already.
- 38' With 0 assists to his name this season, Florentin Matei is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Apollon FC Lemesos.
- 43' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering OFI that had 1 games and scored 0 goals.

- 60' Juan Neira picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
