The Cyprus Football Association on Monday turned a 1-0 victory for Anorthosis Famagusta over Apollon Limaasol into a 3-0 defeat because Uzoho had an invalid medical certificate. Anorthosis were also hit with a six-point deduction, adding up to a nine-point overall penalty. Uzoho, 20, played for Nigeria at last year’s World Cup and in October 2017 became the youngest foreign goalkeeper to play in Spain’s La Liga when he made his debut for Deportivo La Coruna at the age of just 18. The certificate was allegedly issued while the player was still on board a flight to Cyprus, a day ahead of the February 2 fixture against Apollon. Uzoho received a one-match ban and was fined 1,000 euros (1,130 dollars).
