Lazetic also acknowledged the difficulty of conceding a goal just before halftime, but praised the team's performance in the second half. He highlighted that Maccabi was able to create a good chance to score and held their own against a top European team.

Captain Dor Peretz shared similar sentiments, stating that the team was unhappy with the loss. He praised the defense for doing well, but noted that the team struggled to find a way back after conceding a high-quality goal.

Peretz also reflected on his own performance, mentioning that he had two good chances to score but was denied by the opposing goalkeeper's good saves. He acknowledged that he needs to improve his finishing to test himself more in future games.

The team is likely to use this experience from the match to improve their performance in their upcoming games.
