French midfielder Youri Djorkaeff made it 2-0 four minutes later, beating former Kaiserslautern goalkeeper Andreas Reinke from just inside the box.

Michalis Konstantinou reduced the arrears for the visitors from close range in the 54th minute, then levelled in the dying moments. Brazilian striker Fofonka hit the winner seconds later.
