The small margins put Doxa out
Out, 1‑2 to Pafos, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Savvas Christodoulou, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.77
A mark of 7.77 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

A hand in 2 of them from Valentino Pereira — 7.36
Marked 7.36. There is a kind of forward whose value only shows up when you count what he was involved in rather than what he finished, and this is the day that argument makes itself.

Tempers go at Doxa
Ernest Asante 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.

Rúben Brígido falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Doxa supporters have found a favourite in Valentino Pereira
There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Valentino Pereira 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.

Doxa see off Omonoia
Three points for Doxa, 1‑0 the final word against Omonoia in a contest settled by the finer margins.

The manager makes an example of Erik Midtgarden
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Nobody could get near Agapios Vrikkis
Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
