Peter Olayinka has reacted after winning APOEL’s Goal of the Month award, following an impressive spell in front of goal.
The Nigerian forward got the nod for his well-taken strike in the Cypriot Cup clash against Apollon Limassol a goal that stood out for both technique and timing. It was one of those finishes that showed his awareness and composure inside the box.
That goal was not a one-off.
Olayinka has been building momentum in recent weeks, scoring in back-to-back games and showing signs that he is settling well at the club. He was also on target in the 3-3 draw against Pafos FC, where APOEL had to fight from difficult moments to get something from the game.
At 29, Olayinka brings more than just goals. He is experienced, strong on the ball and always ready to press defenders. He can play across the front line, and that flexibility has made him useful in different situations.
Since arriving at APOEL, he has been gradually finding his rhythm and this recent run is a sign that things are beginning to click.
Winning Goal of the Month is a small reward but it reflects his growing influence in the team.
With the season still open, APOEL will be counting on him to keep delivering especially in tight games where moments like that can make the difference.
