LARNACA, Cyprus (Interstat) — Cyprus overcame an early two-goal deficit to defeat Albania 3-2 in a UEFA Women’s Nations League match Friday at Stadio Antonis Papadopoulos.

Albania’s Megi Doçi scored twice in the 29th and 33rd minutes. Cyprus responded before halftime with a goal from Maria Panayiotou in the 43rd minute, assisted by Eirini Michail, who received a yellow card two minutes earlier. Antri Violari then scored the equalizer in first-half stoppage time and netted the winner in the 83rd minute. The result improved Cyprus to 1-0-0 in the competition, while Albania fell to 0-1-0. The final score defied a Interstat projection of a 2-2 draw.
