Fredy Colmán, 21, steals the show — 7.76
Marked 7.76 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Tempers go at Ermis
Pantelis Michail was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Ermis supporters have found a favourite in Fredy Colmán
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Fredy Colmán has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

One of our own: Nektarios Kastanos joins the Ermis first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Nektarios Kastanos is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
Match7 Nov 2026
Ermis get the job done against Omonoia
A 1‑0 win over Omonoia, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Ermis lose Alexandros Spontas
32 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

A promise honoured for Fredy Colmán
It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Ermis told Fredy Colmán something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Ermis pick somebody else ahead of Alexandros Kouros
There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

A satisfied Stelios Ioannou
“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 1‑0, Stelios Ioannou could afford to be generous.
