Since Red Bull Salzburg's visit to Israel almost five months ago in the Champions League playoffs, Maccabi Tel Aviv has not lost a home game.

Tonight (Thursday) Bloomfield was visited by another Champions League team, the Ukrainian Shakhtar Donetsk, and the Yellows lost 2-0 to them in the first of two games in the last 32 of the Europa League.

The rematch (with an audience) will take place in a week in Ukraine, and Maccabi Tel Aviv still had hope if the result remained 1-0, but Tata doubled the extra time after a moment of lawlessness in yellow and brought Manor Solomon and his teammates closer to the quarterfinals.

Patrick Van Leven

: "We knew it was going to be a difficult game for us. We tried to hold on as long as possible, and I also think we had two or three good situations that we wished we didn't take advantage of. I feel that if we had taken advantage of the opportunities we might have And the game would have changed, but it was also very difficult to keep them away from scoring the second goal. "

Manor Solomon

said: "It was very strange, I was excited to come here, great fun to come to Israel. The most fun in the world to be here with the family and all the people, speaking Hebrew is great fun. I was very excited about the game and I am happy with the result. Burnt fans of Maccabi Tel Aviv, but I think in this game they preferred Shakhtar, especially my parents and I am sure they are happy with the result. That is, keep going. It is impossible to say that we are in the next stage, Maccabi Tel Aviv a strong team. We controlled the ball and got into situations, but They showed that they are a good team that knows how to move the ball and save very well. Nothing is closed, we will come back to move. It is clear that now back to Maccabi Tel Aviv it is not on the agenda. Early to talk about next season. I wanted to continue in Shakhtar and end the season here. "Here and I enjoy, I'm in a great team with very talented players. I learn and get better every day. I believe there will be a next goal, but not now."
