Dutch-born Ghanaian defender Derrick Luckassen delivered a standout performance, scoring twice to help Pafos FC secure a dramatic 3-3 draw against APOEL FC in the Championship round.
The 30-year-old was the hero for his side, netting a crucial late equalizer to cap off an entertaining encounter. His brace ensured Pafos came away with a valuable point in a fiercely contested clash.
Luckassen has been in excellent form this season, putting in commanding performances at the Alphamega Stadium and establishing himself as a key figure in the team.
Despite the draw, Pafos remain in the hunt for European football, currently sitting just three points off a UEFA Conference League qualifying spot.
The lanky defender recently earned a call-up to the Black Stars for matches against Germany and Austria, and will be hoping his impressive club form strengthens his chances of making the squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
