“There are matches that it doesn’t matter how much you control the ball and do the maximum, you can still lose points,” explained Dani Poyatos after the 2:2 draw at Hapoel Ashkelon. If there is someone who understands best the disappointment it’s Omer Atzily who missed a 90th minute penalty.
“We took our foot off the gas when we were ahead 2:0 and they took advantage of tha5 by scoring a goal to cut the lead. They gained confidence because we didn’t finish the game off earlier. Once it was 2:2 I had the chance to win the match but I didn’t succeed. I’m going to lift up my head and guarantee that I’ll bring back plenty of points for Maccabi.”
Thoughts before taking the second penalty:
“I didn’t knew the minute. I was so disappointed when Aiyenugba made the save. I’m sure I won’t be able to sleep tonight but we have to keep going.”
About Ashkelon:
“We began the match well and we scored two goals, we should have won the game. We have to look forward.”
Beer Sheva:
“We aren’t looking at them but only on ourselves. We have to take many more points. I hope that we will take them next match.”
