Pafos was founded 10 years ago. They qualified for the Europa League preliminary round 1 as winners of the Cyprus Cup, but ran into Elfsborg, who won 8-2 on aggregate.

Distributed in the Conference League, it eliminated, one by one, Zalgiris, ȚSKA 1948 Sofia and CFR Cluj, thus reaching the main stage of the competition.

In the previous season in the Conference League, CFR Cluj was eliminated in the 2nd preliminary round by the Turkish team Adana Demirspor.

In the return leg from Cyprus, the formation prepared by Dan Petrescu started from the advantage of the narrow victory in the round, 1-0, but without a basic man, Ciprian Deac, eliminated in the match that was played at the “Dr. Constantin Rădulescu”.

But the advantage disappeared in a span of only four minutes. Jaja opened the scoring in the 28th minute, and after a few tens of seconds David Goldar made it 2-0 for Pafos, also with a header.

The final score was established by Muamer Tankovic, who converted a penalty in the 49th minute. For the hosts, the Romanian midfielder Vlad Dragomir played the whole match.

“If in the round match we had received the penalty and it was 2-0, it would have been harder to turn it around. We don’t want to take credit for them and put the blame on someone else. They played very well, we didn’t adapt to anything. From the 10th second I gave the wrong pass.

In the first half they had three chances and two were gifts from us. We changed the system, but it was very difficult to return. I think their value is greater than that of our players and it showed on the pitch.” said Dan Petrescu at the end.

After this result, CFR Cluj has nothing else to do but focus on the Superliga matches. The formation prepared by Dan Petrescu is in fifth place, with 10 points, but also one game less, the arrears from the trip with Oțelul Galați, a match scheduled in the sixth stage.
