Sitting top of Group H before the game, we only had to match Borussia Dortmund's result at Real Madrid to dodge the play-offs and go straight through as group winners.
But not content to settle for anything less that a win, we turned on the style to blow the Cypriot side away in the first half as goals from Reo Griffiths, who came in as the starting striker with Kazaiah Sterling named in the UEFA Champions League squad, Marcus Edwards and Japhet Tanganga gave us a commanding lead at the interval.
Edwards hit the bar from the penalty spot after the break and although APOEL had a brief resuregent spell which saw skipper Zacharias Adoni pull a goal back, we never really allowed the visitors to seriously threaten and young forward Rodel Richards capped a fine week on an individual level, having bagged a hat-trick against Aston Villa Under-18s on Saturday, by sliding home to complete a 4-1 win late in the game.
