In the 22nd minute of the GSP derby, Omonia was left with ten players, against APOEL, due to Bashirou’s dismissal.
The Italian referee Gianluca Aureliano, who was in front of the phase, considered it dangerous the way the players of green came out in the marking on Sarfo, who stepped on him.
After a VAR review it was confirmed that the referee had got it right, with Bashiru and his teammates protesting the decision.
