After the final whistle he went crazy!
A real scandal broke out in the city derby between Apollon Limassol and AEL Limassol (3:1) in Cyprus. The cup game had just ended when AEL defender Luiyi De Lucas (29) attacked his opponent, punched him in the face and kicked him.
After the end of the game, Apollon player Eliel Peretz (27) celebrates the victory with a military salute directly in the direction of De Lucas. He goes straight to Peretz, hits him in the face with his fist and pushes him away. He then steps after Peretz. De Lucas is then stopped from pursuing Peretz by players from both teams.

A pack forms with further pushing between both teams. The referee subsequently shows both De Lucas and Peretz the red card.
Meanwhile, the defender, who only moved from Scotland to Cyprus in January, apologized with a long letter on “X”, but claimed that Peretz had “repeatedly insulted him racially and personally” during the game.

De Lucas: “I would like to sincerely apologize and express my regret for the incident after the cup game. My behavior was unacceptable and unprofessional and I would like to apologize first and foremost to my teammates, but also to everyone else, for my reckless behavior.”
He then tries to explain his freak-out: “Unfortunately, my mind was clouded by the unacceptable and unprofessional behavior of the opposing player from the moment he entered the game. Never in my professional career have I experienced this level of verbal racism on the field.”
