APOEL Criticizes Cypriot Refereeing Again

APOEL has expressed new criticism regarding Cypriot refereeing, just days after complaints made following the match against Anorthosis. Pablo Garcia strongly protested the decisions of the assistant referees, claiming that they cut off four of his team's attacks. The APOEL coach emphasized that if foreign referees are brought in, foreign assistant referees should also be brought in to ensure impartiality and the proper conduct of the matches. This criticism highlights APOEL's concerns about the quality of refereeing in the Cypriot league.
