OR AEK took a qualifying lead with the 1-0 win over the Hapoel Ber Seva At OPAP Arena for the Conference League qualifiers, but Union coach Marco Nikolic also stood in the missed opportunities of his team.
Although he created the conditions for more goals, AEK stayed 1-0 against Hapoel Ber Seva, with Nikolic stressing that his team should have secured a larger score than the first game of the Conference League qualifiers.
Nikolic’s statements
“I’m very pleased. Again 1-0, as with Omonia. It’s very difficult, the first official game. Let us not forget that they (the Israelis) have 3+1 games. Also, in these conditions, in terms of weather, I was very difficult for me to do so.
They actually did nothing but a chance in the first half. They were found outside the area, outside the box, but they didn’t make opportunities. We had classic opportunities, we didn’t take advantage of them. We have to improve this. Otherwise, nothing has been judged yet. 1-0 and go for the next game. Many thanks to our fans who pushed us today. “
