Prodromos Petrides Files Complaint Against Menelaos Antoniou - Details of the Letter

Prodromos Petrides, president of APOEL, submitted a letter of complaint to the Referees Committee, headed by Menelaos Antoniou, regarding the refereeing in yesterday's derby against Apollon. The letter refers to specific controversial decisions, such as the incorrect awarding of a penalty to Apollon in the 8th minute and the failure to award a penalty to APOEL for a foul on Drazic. In addition, it is alleged that the referee should have sent off Belec, but limited himself to dismissing him after VAR intervention. Mr. Petrides believes that the refereeing decisions influenced the outcome of the match.
