Roi Mishpati who pulled a stunning save to deny Gift Orban but conceded a late penalty on the way to the first defeat of the season said at the end of the game: “We knew we are expecting a tough match. They closed us down in the first half and I am happy that in the second half we managed to make a few threats on their goal. Sadly though it wasn’t enough. Now this game is behind us and we are already got our sights on Sunday’s league match. We knew that Gent are a tough side and are unbeaten in the league so far. We knew what to expect. Obviously we wanted to perform better but we will now head back home, pick ourselves up and prepare for Sunday’s league match”.
On his spectacular save midway through the second half to deny Gift Orban’s close range header, Mishpati added: “He headed the ball towards the far post, I saw had a chance to reach the it so I stretched myself and luckily managed to save it”.
