Just like in the first round, the finale was all about Aris. In the opening match against their city rival, Apollon pushed hard. But the ‘greens’ scored a third goal in stoppage time, winning 3-1. Gaustad found himself alone in front of an empty goal since Leuvenberg had also moved up. With a shot, he sealed the game at 90+6 minutes.
The same thing happened in the second-round game.
Apollon had sent almost all their players forward. After Aris cleared the ball, they quickly countered. Correia set up Mayambela perfectly, who made it 2-0.
Just like in the first round, the stoppage-time goal was the cherry on top for the ‘greens’.
Coincidence or not, Anderson Correia provided the final pass both times. And both goals came at 90+6 minutes.
