The Yellow & Blue Head Coach Shota Arveladze summed up his Club’s 2:0 loss to Zenit St. Petersburg in Russia on Matchday Five of the Europa League Group Stages.

“I think we could gotten more out of this match, but the opponent had quality and when they came at us they came at us hard.”

On the chances of advancing:

“We will have to see what happens in the Dundalk versus Alkmaar match. I would think that we will still have a chance to advance on the final match day.”

Eitan Tibi, the Maccabi central defender also spoke about the game: “It was a tough game and Zenit is a good side. Unfortunately we didn’t win as we played well. They had two chances and they scored on both of them. We have one more match at home that will decide who will advance to the Round of 32. I hope we will win at home. If you would have asked me if I would’ve been content having the last match be the one that decides our fate of going up to the next round, I would have bought it.”
