Boateng opened the scoring as he slotted home an Omri Altman ball in the 16th minute, however, goals by Bernard Tekpetey and Alberto Salido early in the second half gave the Bulgarians a 2-1 lead. <\/p>\n<p>But Altman again started the attack, sent the ball to Roie Alkukin who put it into the middle of the box where Boateng turned and slammed the ball into the back of the goal to knot the game up at 2-2 and send Hapoel into the next round where they will play Katowice.<\/p>\n<p>Head Coach Elyaniv Barda said, \u201cI always believed. We had the second-toughest draw possible in this competition,p and their UEFA coefficient proves that as well. I&#8217;m very happy that we managed to overcome a very high-quality team. We saw it during the spell when everything clicked for them and they scored two goals in seven minutes, but we also knew how to respond and show great character on a difficult pitch against a truly top-quality side.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWinning 4\u20132 on aggregate over the two matches is a tremendous achievement and the players deserve immense credit, especially for their level of commitment. We still have a lot of things to improve, and we can play even better than we did in both this match and the previous one. In terms of commitment, the players gave 100% and they deserve enormous praise for that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Emmanuel Boateng, who scored a brace said after the match, \u201cIt feels amazing to beat such a strong team. We won the first match as well and we came into this game very well prepared. We knew it was going to be extremely difficult, but we worked very hard as a team, and we deserve to advance to the next round.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hapoel Tel Aviv moved into the third round of Conference League qualifying after drawing 2-2 with Ludogorets as Emmanuel Boateng scored a brace and helped the reds advance on an aggregate score of 4-2.
