“Aris” (Limassol) faced APOEL (Nicosia) club in the 31st week match of the Cyprus Football Championship. The match ended in a goalless draw.
In the 48th minute, the Russian striker “Arisa” Alexander Kokorin could not turn the penalty kick: the goalkeeper coped with it. However, the head referee of the match saw the rule violation during the execution of the 11-metre kick, and Kokorin had the opportunity to shoot “on the spot” for the second time. But APOEL’s goalkeeper again coped with the Russians’ second attempt.
Last summer, Kokorin went on loan to Aris from Italy’s Fiorentina. This season, he played in 26 games in total and recorded 11 goals and 6 assists.
