Omonia fought hard enough against Basel to become the first Cypriot team to win the Europa Conference League, but eventually remained at 1-1 for the 4th game of the tournament, and with this result the last hopes of qualifying vanished.
The greens took the lead early, just in the 16th minute, with Kakoullis receiving the ball from Gometh, escaping from his opponent in an impressive way and with a shot scoring an impressive goal to make it 1-0. Omonia kept this valuable goal and in the 57th minute asked for a penalty kick to overthrow Kakoulis, but the Russian referee Vitaly Meskov had the opposite opinion.
In the continuation of the phase, and while the protests on the part of the Nicosia team continued, the guests went on the counterattack and Millar who was the final recipient of the ball with a shot defeated Ouzohos to come to 1-1. This was to be the final result, despite the efforts of both teams afterwards (Basel had a goal in 82 'with Cabral).
Thus, Omonia left the game with one point, but more important is the very good performance it made in a difficult period. In addition, the greens put 166,000 euros in their coffers, which is given as a bonus by UEFA for winning the Conference League groups.
