Luiz headed in the 1–1 equaliser at home to Monaco after 18 minutes of play. The match ended 2–2.
The 38-year-old returned to Europe in August after four seasons at home in Brazil and signed for Pafos in Cyprus.
The burly veteran centre-back achieved great success during his time at Chelsea, with whom he won the Champions League in 2012. He has also played for Paris SG and Arsenal.
Injured Swedish national team player Ken Sema was missing in Pafos, as was Wilmer Odefalk, on loan from Brommapojkarna.
In tonight's second early match in the Champions League, Viktor Claesson and Jordan Larsson celebrated FC Copenhagen's 3–2 victory against Kairat Almaty at home at Parken.
Larsson scored the 2-0 goal from the penalty spot after an hour of play. The striker also hit the cross that led to the VAR-awarded penalty for handball.
This weekend, Larsson – also on a penalty – decided the Copenhagen derby against Bröndby with the only goal of the match.
