Cyprus coast to easy victory over pointless San Marino

CYPRUS coasted to an easy win over a San Marino side still without a point in what has been a dismal Euro 2008 qualifying campaign for them.

Konstantinos Makridis opened the scoring for the hosts in the first quarter of an hour.

Two goals from Efstathios Aloneftis then sealed the win for the home side and ensured that a qualifying campaign that started with a 13-0 hammering by Germany continues to be an ordeal for the tiny landlocked republic.
