Omri Ben Harush the Yellow-and-Blue left back helped Maccabi to a 2:0 victory over Bnei Sakhnin at Doha Stadium on Matchday Fourteen to open up the second round of WINNER League matches. The win marked the 4th league game in a row that the club has recorded a clean sheet and much credit goes to the defenders:

“It was an important game to begin the second round of matches with a win. We gained some confidence and now we’re going to begin to prepare for next week’s match against Hapoel Beer Sheva.”

The style of play Bnei Sakhnin brought to the table:

“We’ve seen this style of defensive play before from our other opponents over the last few months and we changed up our offense and formation in the second half to better deal with it.”

On playing in the Champions League:

“It was exciting to be a part of the Champions League but course we were a bit disappointed. The main thing is to return to the competition next year but now it’s time to focus on the league.”
