Cyprus BXL FC steamroll Finland 6-1 to advance to quarter-finals

Cyprus BXL FC secured a spot in the quarter finals last night with an imperious 6-1 victory over Finland, under the masterful guidance of Yiannakis Giangoudakis at the side of regular coach Nikolian. Steamrolling in football is certainly not fun for both teams, but boy did the Cypriots enjoy it last night, making the otherwise compact and solid Finnish team look like putty in their hands! By the end of the first half, Agorakis had already scored a hat trick, and Rossides two. Anastasiou scored the sixth close to the end of the game.

Cyprus BXL FC draw 1-1 with Finland away from home for first playoff leg

Cyprus BXL FC managed to get a good result away from home last night against Finland for the first leg of the first playoff round of the BXL Euroleague. They must be happy for the draw, as Finland had two shots hitting the woodwork, and their performance was lacking the soundness and fluidity of previous games. They will look to capitalise on last night's away goal (scored by Papoutsas) when they play the return leg at the ISB next week and they must improve drastically in functional terms if they have higher aspirations for this season.
