A catastrophic second half tonight (Friday) led the Israeli team to a 4: 2 loss to Austria away, in a game that could have ended in a much more painful defeat.

The Blues actually led twice from goals by Nir Bitton and Dor Peretz, but made countless mistakes and surrendered to an opponent who kicked the goal 25 times, 14 of them for the frame.

Coach Willy Rotensteiner said at the end: "I have no explanations at the moment, I have to analyze what happened in the half. In the first half we looked very good, but I said in the half that you can win the game, but you can not explain those mistakes in the second half. We made 5-6 mistakes in a few. "Minutes, and against a team like Austria you lose a game over it. If I had known why it happened, I would have prevented it immediately."

The coach added: "Tactically we had a very good first half, and also in the second half we showed character when we went up to 1: 2, but the players completely lost control of the game, Zehavi's exit hurt us because we needed his leadership and we also lost Natcho before. "In any case, we made very simple mistakes."
