Europa League: Gakpe fires Apollon Limassol past Austria Wien

Serge Gakpe scored his first goal for Apollon Limassol in their 3-1 win over Austria Wien in Thursday’s Uefa Europa League qualification game.

The victory helped Sofronis Avgousti’s men advance into the next stage of the European tournament 5-2 on aggregate.

Gakpe, who joined the Cypriot side from Belgian club Cercle Brugge in June, made a significant impact in his debut appearance at Neo GSP Stadium with a first-half strike.

Apollon started the encounter unimpressively after Maudo opened the scoring for the visitors in the 18th minute off Alexander Gruenwald’s assist.

Togo international, Gakpe then levelled proceedings for the Legend from the penalty spot moments before half-time.
