NICOSIA, Cyprus — Slovenia’s hopes of qualifying for the World Cup are fading fast after a surprise 1-0 loss to Cyprus on Tuesday.
Cyprus scored against the run of play in the 42nd minute when Ioannis Pittas collected the ball on the edge of the penalty area after a throw-in and beat a defender before shooting low past goalkeeper Jan Oblak.
