NICOSIA - Title contenders Omonia were back in the running for the top spot after a narrow 1-0 home win against fellow Nicosia side Olympiakos on Saturday. Freddy spared his side blushes by heading in the only goal of the game after a corner on the 67th minute. It was enough to give Omonia the three points which brings them back to first place, with 46 points and one game in hand. Olympiakos mounted a dogged defence, but were unable to keep a clean sheet.
Also on Saturday, Aris scored twice to beat Anagenisis Dherynia 2-0 at home in Limassol to increase their chances of staying in the first division.
