Maccabi Tel Aviv defeated Sheriff Tiraspol 1-0 (6-0 on aggregate) as Roy Revivo scored off of a first half free kick to take the victory in UEFA Europa League second round qualifying. After having defeated Sheriff last week away in Moldova by the score of 5-0, yellow-and-blue supporters descended on Batumi, Georgia where Maccabi will be hosting their continental matches due to the security situation in Israel and celebrated the club advancing to the third round where they will face CSKA Sofia.

\nThe first leg will take place next Thursday back in Batumi while the second leg will be played the following week in Bulgaria. Should Head Coach Kenny Miller\u2019s team advance to the playoff round, they will be guaranteed of at least playing in the Conference League.

\nKenny Miller said after the match, \u201cI would have preferred it to end 5\u20130, that’s for sure. We knew it would be a night where we’d have to see how Sheriff would come out and what their approach would be. But from our side, we focused heavily on our energy and mentality. We wanted to come into this game with the right attitude, even though we had a five-goal lead from the first leg. We wanted to win the game and we did that.\u201d

\n\u201cWe could have won by a bigger margin if we had shown a bit more quality in the final third,\u201d the bench boss continued. \u201cThere’s some frustration that we didn’t score more goals and that we weren’t better, but we won and advanced to the next round. When you look at this competition, there aren’t many teams that win 6\u20130 on aggregate over two legs. There are no easy games in Europe and we have to be pleased with the final result.\u201d

\nDefender Raz Shlomo also reflected after the match, \u201cIt was very important for us to come into this game with the right approach despite the result of the first leg. We wanted to win, keep the positive momentum we’ve built since the start of the season, and maintain maximum focus. I’m happy we did that and kept another clean sheet. That’s something that gives us a lot of confidence as a team going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
