APOEL, Ajax share the spoils

Nicosia - A first-half penalty has earned APOEL Nicosia a 1-1 draw against Ajax Amsterdam in Group F of the Champions League on Tuesday.

Ajax opened the scoring in the 28th minute when Danish forward Lucas Andersen slotted home the rebound after APOEL goalkeeper Urko Pardo had parried a close-range effort from Lasse Schone.

Brazilian midfielder Gustavo Manduca leveled from the penalty spot three minutes later, after Ajax defender Ricardo van Rhijn was judged to have handled inside the box when Stathis Aloneftis tried to lift the ball over him.

The draw extended Ajax's winless away streak in the Champions League to eight games and gave the Cypriot team its first point in this season's competition.
