He started the 1st leg as well. Possibly came on v Derry if I'm not mistaken.Originally Posted by pineapple stu
Only one winner in that time
That should settle them. Elbouzedi with it - on his debut?
And Sabah score. 6-5 up now
From a Pat's perspective, very promising that both teams are capable of throwing goals away, and the extra time won't be any harm
Pat’s ain’t home and hosed yet but I get your point.From a Pat's perspective, very promising that both teams are capable of throwing goals away, and the extra time won't be any harm
I actually watched a 12 minute highlight package of the 1st leg. Not sure how it finished. 0-3 to Sabah. Was nil all till 60 odd minute.
Are the Israeli sides playing home games in neutral venues, because it was a very small ground and nobody at it.
Yeah, it was in Budapest. They wouldn't be in extra time if they'd had a home leg in Israel I think. (And they shouldn't be in the competition to begin with of course, but that's a different matter)
You could argue a 6-5 means both sides know where the net is, which could be trouble for dodgy LoI defences in EuropeThough broadly speaking I do agree neither side looks terrifying. Weaker than Zurich and Copenhagen I'd say.
6-6 now actually - penalties looming it seems. Though still 7 minutes to go.
I've been saying Pat's would win this tie for weeks, I can't back down now
Sabah are not that great I think. The 1st leg could have finished anything. Maccabi so wasteful.Yeah, it was in Budapest. They wouldn't be in extra time if they'd had a home leg in Israel I think. (And they shouldn't be in the competition to begin with of course, but that's a different matter)

Anang really showed his quality there. Catches a decent drive from 20 yards like it’s nothing, then plays a 70 yard ball to put Mulroney through for a shot that Vaduz saved. Quality keeper.
Just the 11-0 over the two legs...
Sabah miss first in the shoot-out in Azerbaijan. 2-1 Maccabi after two kicks each.
Edit - Maccabi miss back; 2-2 after three kicks each now
Sabah through 3-2 on penalties. Maccabi missed their last three kicks, with Pierrot - who scored twice in the game - missing the last one.
Not sure which side would have been better tbh. I think Sabah are weaker but the trip to Azerbaijan is awkward whereas playing Maccabi in a neutral venue would have been a help.
Still, it is what it is. Pat's not through yet of course.

Hard luck on maccabi considering they couldn't l
Play there home leg at home
I was a bit worried Sabah were unexpectedly very good given the first leg, so a bit of a relief that they can get hammered at home, still wouldn't make Pat's favourites but if they get there they have a chance, as 3rd round draws go it's decent, like Derry getting Tobol last year I suppose.
2-1 Vaduz, I appreciate their stadium announcer giving it socks and encouraging the crowd to boo Pat's
Goal for Vaduz and it sets up a very nervy last 15. Wtf were Pats at there? They were in no trouble at all for ages then just allow a lad to stroll across the box and roll one in. Did it get a deflection or did Anang just fall in the wrong direction? I probably cursed him with my earlier praise…
Fairly sure I heard him saying “St Pats, danke”.2-1 Vaduz, I appreciate their stadium announcer giving it socks and encouraging the crowd to boo Pat's
2-2 now. Great quick reaction by Romal Palmer to put that in.
Vaduz are very annoyed now. You can just tell they really think they’re better than LOI standard.
Would absolutely love it if pats got a 3rd to nick the win.
Might be, he's definitely said St. Pats and gotten a wee boo after both Vaduz goals, I assume it's just their tradition
Trust me PS. Sabah definitely the weaker of the two sides. They are efficient. Seemed to score with more of their chances in both legs from what I seen. As I said Maccabi incredibly wasteful. Reminded me of Partizan against Rovers.
