\nAt the end of the match, Hapoel Tel Aviv head coach Elyaniv Barda said, \u201cAs I said, games like these are played over two halves. We won the first half away from home. We could have done more than 2-0 there and we knew we were coming into the second half of a very difficult tie. We took a 1-0 lead and I think we controlled the game until the 75th minute. Then we lost a bit of confidence, conceded a goal and the second goal came very quickly. In the end, we lost the game, but our goal was to advance to the next round and we\u2019re happy that we achieved that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Striker Emmanuel Boateng added, \u201cWe started the game very well and completely controlled the first half. Unfortunately, the second half was more difficult. We came into a very tough game after winning the first leg and we knew we had a difficult task ahead of us. But the most important thing is that we advanced and I\u2019m very happy about that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
