"We only have a second and third official game this season. We will try to give a good game. For us, it is very important to show as good an ability as possible in defense and offense," Sapropoulos said tonight (Thursday) ahead of the match.

"We respect our opponent, Jerusalem is always a good team. They have a new staff and a new coach. We need to be very focused on our program.

"We have a few things that we will focus on on the pitch in our offense and defense, and I expect all the players to be willing to play according to the game plan."

"I'm excited for the game, I think it's going to be a great challenge for us," Jake Cohen admitted. "We have taken a big step forward. I just want to see continued improvement and hope we win."
