The upset came early as Ayia Napa, riding a two-game winning streak, overturned the pre-match favourite Iraklis Yerolakkou for a 2-4 victory. The model had tipped a home win with a 38% probability, but that call was wrong. The predicted most likely score of 1-1 fell short, and the expected total of 2.6 goals was eclipsed by the eight-goal spectacle.
