Former Manchester United defender Henning Berg guided Omonia Nicosia to a famous 1-0 victory against Spanish side Celta Vigo in their opening match of the new UEFA Europa League season. Defender Jure Balkovec secured the historic win with a sensational long-range strike in the 88th minute.
Guillermo Ochoa’s AEL Limassol debut ended in disaster, as the Mexican goalkeeper conceded five goals in a heavy 5-0 loss to Omonia on Monday. The setback capped a turbulent summer in which Ochoa served as a Gold Cup backup and saw a move to Spanish side Burgos collapse before landing in Cyprus to chase regular minutes.
