APOEL captain Konstantinos Laifis receives red card against Aris

During the match between APOEL and Aris, which ended 0-1, APOEL captain Konstantinos Laifis was sent off in the 6th minute of stoppage time. The incident occurred after Laifis protested a non-called foul on teammate Olayinka. The Italian referee, Luca Sacchi, initially showed a yellow card, but upgraded it to a straight red card following continued protests from the player. This is the second time Laifis has been sent off this season, with the first occurrence happening in the 14th round against ENY. Due to the expulsion, Laifis will miss the upcoming matches against Apollon and Omonia. His availability for the final match against Pafos depends on the referee's match report and potential additional disciplinary sanctions. Previously, the club had expressed strong disagreement with officiating decisions during his first dismissal of the season.
