APOEL Files Complaint Against Referee Antonίου – Claims Result Was Influenced

APOEL has officially filed a complaint with the Cyprus Football Association (CFA) and the Referee Committee regarding the officiating of Menelaos Antoniou in their match against Apollon. The complaint concerns two penalties not awarded to APOEL and a player of Apollon not being sent off. The APOEL administration argues that the referee's errors influenced the outcome of the match and expresses doubts about his competence. This is not the first time APOEL has protested against refereeing decisions, having submitted a similar complaint in the past.
