Pafos vs Riga

Pafos and Riga FC shared a 1-1 draw in Cyprus, and the visitors will feel they let something better slip. Caio Ferreira put Riga FC in front in the 67th minute, only for Biel to level nine minutes later. The first half was goalless but busy. Reginaldo Ramires had a goal ruled out for offside after a VAR check in the sixth minute, and Anderson saw one chalked off for Pafos soon after. Aouani hit the woodwork for the visitors in the 33rd minute, and by the break Riga FC had created the better chances. Ferreira scored in his first minute on the pitch, finishing after a cross from Oulad. Pafos improved after coach Sa Pinto made changes at half-time, and Biel drove a shot from inside the box after a pass from Sema. Bruno headed towards goal in stoppage time, but Piric blocked it. It is the first point of the league phase for Pafos, who lost their opener to Atalanta. Riga FC travel to Grobiņa in the Latvian league on 26 October.
