The Cypriot side celebrate their first win of the competition as the Spanish club’s dismal campaign continues.

KOLOSSI: Villarreal fell to a humbling 1-0 defeat away to Pafos on Wednesday, as their dismal Champions League campaign continued after Derrick Luckassen scored to give the Cypriot side their first win of the competition.

The Spanish club may be riding high in third place in La Liga, but remain on one point in Europe, while Pafos move on to five points.

Given both clubs’ campaigns so far, a goal fest was never likely. Villarreal scored twice in three games, both coming in a 2-2 draw with Juventus, while Pafos had netted only once, which came in a 5-1 loss to Bayern Munich.
