APOEL Goalkeeper Sent Off in Derby Match

APOEL goalkeeper Beletz was sent off in the 17th minute of the derby match against Apollon. Initially, a yellow card was given for a foul outside the area on Gary Rodrigues, but after reviewing the play on VAR, the decision was changed to a red card, as Rodrigues was deemed to be in a clear goal-scoring position. Pereira came on as a substitute to fill the goalkeeping position.
