Cup Final Rezilikki | This Is Mappa | Cyprus Football

The season finale, otherwise known as the Cyprus Cup Final, somehow managed to be the perfect advert and the perfect warning for Cypriot football at the same time.

It had everything: drama, quality, tension and another chapter in Pafos’ remarkable rise as they lifted their second cup in three years. Then, just as everyone was starting to think we’d finally put on a proper show, the usual nonsense arrived to remind us that there’s always a layer of embarrassment lurking underneath.

This week we break down Pafos’ latest triumph, the scenes that followed, the fallout from a final that descended into pure rezilikki, and round up all the biggest stories from another completely normal week in Cyprus football. Which, of course, means it was anything but normal.
