Eliniv Barada about the difficult victory and the ticket to the quarterfinals of the Cup: "We knew we would play against a good and organized team, we expected It will be a very difficult game.
I expected us to be more patient in the first half and not rush to cut short attacks impatiently.
We played into the hands of Tiberias.
We did things better in the second half.
We picked up the pace in the second half and it won us the game.
Happy for Ophir Marciano who played, gave an excellent performance.
Andre Foucault?
We were careful with him, he felt the hamstring.

Ofir Marciano on returning to goal: "It was a difficult period, both mentally and physically after the injury. I'm glad I was able to get out of it with a lot of hard work and get my chance today. I know what I'm worth and what I can give to the team. Things didn't work for me and the team at the beginning Eliasi did an excellent job and I will continue to come with the right attitude. Things are working out in the end. You have to give a lot of credit to Tiberias, they caused us a lot of problems and put us at risk. They gave us an important lesson to continue. There is still a lot to play for this year."
Proud of the players, but thinks Tiberias deserved more.
Hodda/Danny Maron
Eliran Hodda summed up the honorable performance of Tiberias City: "We were worth at least a draw here. We had many opportunities to score a goal, but in the end we also conceded a goal from a stationary ball. We will focus on the league from now on, I am very proud of the boys. It's a shame we didn't take advantage of the opportunities to score. Before the game I said The game against Ashdod took us back, for sure this game will take us forward in the league. We didn't surprise ourselves, we know what kind of team we have. Beer Sheva is a quality team, they dominated the game and we tried to play on the transitions."
At the end of the game, Tal Bomstein said: "We gave a close game, we invested a lot. We tried to go to the next level, it's a little disappointing, but we played against one of the best teams in Israel. Every team goes through a bad period, let's hope that this day will get us out of it."
