In a big upset of 1-0, the Cyprus A team overturned the third place in La Liga, and the new Champions League team won the first Champions League match in the history of the team.

Paphos, a new team in the Champions League and ranked second in Cyprus League before the game, ushered in the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League. The Paphos team played at home against Villarreal, which was ranked third in La Liga before the game.

Paphos had 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in the 5 games before the game, while Villarreal's 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the 5 games before the game was obviously better than the Paphos team. In terms of paper strength, Villarreal is stronger than Paphos because the Villarreal team is worth more than 200 million euros, while the Paphos team is worth less than 30 million euros. It can be seen that the paper strength of the two sides is quite different, so before the game, more fans were full of confidence that Villarreal would defeat Paphos as a guest.

In the first minute of the second half, Sema took a corner kick to the goal. Lucassen scored with a header to help Paphos take the lead.

In the end, the Paphos team upset Villarreal and ushered in their first victory in the Champions League this season. It was also their first victory in the Champions League in team history.
