Maccabi’s midfielder who scored an injury time goal in the 3-0 victory over Moldovan outfit Petrocub said at the end of the match at Bloomfield: “We should have shown a better ability without a doubt. We dominated large parts of the game but we lost too many balls and made unnecessary mistakes that could cost us dearly in the future. I am happy the game ended the way it did and ultimately this is a good start which is very satisfying.”
Peretz, whose injury time goal gave Maccabi a three goal cushion ahead of next week’s return leg in Kishinev: “When all the team is showing good form, we all benefit from that and everyone could score.”
Peretz refused to get carried away by the fact his side recorded two convincing victories on the bounce as he added: “This is our first game since the victory we recorded a Turner last week and we should keep our feet on the ground, not het carried away and look forward towards next week’s return leg in Moldova”.
