It was hard, tense and ended with a smile.
Tonight (Thursday), Maccabi Haifa achieved its debut victory in the Conference League, 0: 1 over Slavia Prague, following it (and following Feyenoord's victory over Union Berlin), it rose to second place at home by up to 4 points.
Winning coach Barak Bachar said at the end: "We did not think it would be easy, we beat the best team at home. This is how Maccabi Haifa should play. We could have scored more goals, but who are we to complain?"
Bachar concluded the evening: "We pressed a great team, that was our goal. The victory opened the house and that is important. There is madness ahead of the away game, it will be more difficult there."
Goalkeeper Goodsway Donio: "Every team dreams of winning every game. We finally won, we have to keep going like this. I ran to assistant coach Guy French after the goal to show him my appreciation for helping me in training. I have to keep winning, don't think about the rivalry, Only about ourselves. "
