Anorthosis player Evagoras Charalambous dedicates goal to late great-grandfather

During the football match between Anorthosis and Freedom24 Krasava ENY on May 8, 2026, Anorthosis player Evagoras Charalambous scored a goal that contributed to his team's 5-2 victory. Although the goal was officially credited as an own goal by De Lucas, the play originated from a successful effort by Charalambous after he entered the match as a substitute. Following the score, Charalambous celebrated by kneeling and gesturing toward the sky. He later announced on social media that the act was a tribute to his late great-grandfather, Panagiotis Geranis, who passed away last month at the age of 102. Geranis was a former administrative official. Charalambous described his great-grandfather as his source of strength.
