"A great start to the campaign for us," said coach Oded Ketch after the game, "It is not an easy place to play and we have a lot of respect for the Polish team. "It's not easy to prepare for this method of gaming, but we've done a good job and now we're waiting for a game in front of the home crowd."
Captain Gal Meckel added: "What a way to start the campaign. We are satisfied, had a good game and mostly dominated and now have to move on. Our goals are far and we are glad we started with the right foot."
