“A defeat never comes at a good time, especially at Maccabi Tel Aviv. It is really annoying but there is no reason to let our heads drop” Cohen said. “There are still plenty of matches left to play until the end of the season to be able to complete the job. We still only focus on ourselves and I still think that our fate is in our hands”.

Cohen, who was sidelined since the beginning of the year with an injury and only recrntly returned to action, added: “I suffered quite a complex injury and then an additional set-back. Now I am fully fit and want to get back in shape in order to help the team. I am really proud of my teammates for what they have achieved up until now, as my target is to help the team by restoring my scoring form”
