Nov 9, 2023 | Football

Maccabi Tel Aviv downed Zorya Luhansk 3-1 as Dor Peretz recorded a brace in the UEFA Conference League group stage victory. Derrick Luckassen opened the scoring early on with a cheeky back heel of a goal while Dor Peretz doubled the advantage by heading home the second marker off an Eran Zahavi ball.

Peretz then completed his brace just ahead of the halftime break by once again nodding in the ball this time thanks to Milson for a 3-0 lead. Ihor Horbach pulled a lone marker back late in the game to break up Orlando Mosquera’s clean sheet in his debut for Maccabi, but the visitors held on to take the victory.

With the win, Robbie Keane’s side moved into second place in Group B with 6 points in 3 matches as Gent stays in first with 10 points overall.

“The players deserve the credit,” Keane said following the game. “Of course it was difficult emotionally but we showed our strength. We hadn’t seen one another for a number of weeks but our first half was excellent and to think we hadn’t trained together for some time, I was very happy.”
