The yellow-and-black gave up an early own goal which set the tone, however, the visitors were reduced to ten-men due to a red card for a foul in the box giving the hosts a terrific chance to overcome their opponents. But Yarden Shua\u2019s missed penalty, Brandon\u2019s goal ahead of the break and a pair of late strikes by the Greeks did in Yossi Abukasis\u2019s side. <\/p>\n<p>In front of a packed Teddy Stadium in Jerusalem Beitar Jerusalem looked to take the game right to the visiting PAOK, however, disaster struck early as Edli Gutliv\u2019s back-pass tripped up keeper Miguel Silva and the ball slid into the back of the yellow-and-black goal giving the Greeks a 1-0 lead. <\/p>\n<p>Yossi Abukasis\u2019s team looked to get back into the game and were handed a golden opportunity on a silver platter when Douglas Augusta yanked down Yarden Shua from behind which saw the aforementioned Augusta given a straight red card and Beitar a penalty. As Fred Friday stepped up to take the spot kick, Shua demanded the ball but his attempt was saved by Dominik Kotarski. <\/p>\n<p>PAOK took full advantage of a stunned Beitar as Brandon slotted home the ball to give Razvan Lucescu\u2019s squad a 2-0 lead. With the hosts reeling, Friday gave them hope when he headed home Shua\u2019s pass to cut the lead to 2-1 at halftime.<\/p>\n<p>With a man to the good, Beitar pressed from the outset of the second half to find the equalizer, but Ion Nicolaescu, Dor Micha and Yuval Ashkenazi all missed the target as the hosts couldn\u2019t find a way past PAOK iron curtain. Shua looked to have drawn Beitar even, but his goal was ruled to be offside as the screams of joy turned into dour disappointment. <\/p>\n<p>Abuksis\u2019s team looked to be losing steam when Trazie Thomas knocked the ball into his own goal in the 91st minute to give PAOK a two goal lead and when Greek starlet Ioannis Konstantelias polished off the win with another marker just before the final whistle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe strangest things happened in this game,\u201d Beitar coach Yossi Abuksis said. \u201cThe last two goals really disappointed me just as the first two goals did as well. But the game was very weird from the get go when the own goal went in. Missing a penalty was critical but we had some great minutes even before they were handed a red card. We tried to draw even but the two goals killed the chance at the end.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a crazy game but the most important thing was that we fought and won the game,\u201d PAOK coach Razvan Lucescu began. \u201cWe passed this stage and qualified for the third round, we were very disciplined and organized. I have lived many experiences and this is another one which was unique but the players left it all on the pitch and finished off the game.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_92349\" style=\"width: 2570px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-92349\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/MTA_20230803070512d2a42d488dcb4bb8ee8169b7c6eb8720-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-92349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/MTA_20230803070512d2a42d488dcb4bb8ee8169b7c6eb8720-scaled-1.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/MTA_20230803070512d2a42d488dcb4bb8ee8169b7c6eb8720-scaled-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/MTA_20230803070512d2a42d488dcb4bb8ee8169b7c6eb8720-scaled-1-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/MTA_20230803070512d2a42d488dcb4bb8ee8169b7c6eb8720-scaled-1-610x343.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-92349\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maccabi celebrates &#8211; Photo Credit: Maccabi Tel Aviv<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n<strong>Maccabi Tel Aviv blanked Petrocub 2-0<\/strong> in Moldova to win their UEFA Conference League second round qualifying tie by a final score of 5-0 on aggregate.

The most important thing is being patient. You don\u2019t need to score early, football is 90 minutes and the last 8 minutes was exactly as per the game plan with quick play and 2 or 3 touches and we got the goal.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_92347\" style=\"width: 827px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-92347\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/MTA_20230803075605a2f3871122ae139b80e7fa28a671b512-817x460-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"817\" height=\"460\" class=\"size-full wp-image-92347\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/MTA_20230803075605a2f3871122ae139b80e7fa28a671b512-817x460-1.jpg 817w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/MTA_20230803075605a2f3871122ae139b80e7fa28a671b512-817x460-1-610x343.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 817px) 100vw, 817px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-92347\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Roy Revivo &#8211; Photo Credit: Maccabi Tel Aviv<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nRoy Revivo who started his first game was all smiles following the match, \u201cIn the team meeting before the game Robbie Keane told me I would get a chance.
