Neil Lennon watched from the stand as his Omonia Nicosia team lost the Cypriot Super Cup final.
The former Celtic boss was serving a touchline ban so wasn’t permitted in the dugout for the showpiece occasion. But it didn't make for happy viewing as Lennon’s side went down 2-0 to last season’s champions Apollon Limassol. Lennon’s men were in the final after lifting the Cypriot Cup last term, which also saw them qualify for the Europa League playoff round, where they were drawn against Belgian outfit Gent.
Omonia’s chances of winning the competition for the 18th time were dealt a blow after just 12 minutes when Bagally Dabo put Apollon ahead after just 12 minutes. They doubled their advantage through Va on 73 minutes, meaning Petros Psychas’ penalty miss didn't prove costly. Limassol then finished the game with ten men after Andreas Panayiotou was dismissed with ten minutes left on the clock.
