Paphos sweetened the finale, snagging €700,000.
Paphos avoided defeat with Sunjic’s goal in the 88th minute, tying 2-2 against Monaco at the ‘Alfamega’ in Limassol. Juan Carlos Carcedo’s team now has 6 points and sits in 24th place in the Champions League after 5 matches.
The Bosnian star’s goal also brought them €700,000, as UEFA gives this amount for each point earned.
In three home games, Juan Carlos Carcedo’s squad picked up 4 points (they recently beat Villarreal). The Limassol stadium is proving to be a good spot for them.
The schedule is getting tougher as they will head to Turin to face Juventus next (10/12). Against such strong teams away from home, their chances of not losing are slim.
The players and fans of Paphos are enjoying this exciting experience in the star-studded competition. Even as newcomers, they are doing great. Especially in games on Cypriot soil, they stand strong against experienced teams and even gain advantages. Only Bayern Munich has been out of reach, being one of the European teams at a much higher level.
The bright side for Paphos is that they are managing the challenge of ‘two watermelons under one arm’ quite well. After the 11th matchday in the league, they remain in first place.
