UEFA Champions League Preliminary Round 2, 1st Leg
Maccabi Haifa vs Glentoran

UEFA Champions League Preliminary Round 2
Maccabi Haifa 6 - 0 Glentoran (15th July)

The Glens European dream was effectively over tonight as Maccabi Haifa overpowered the IFA Champions in a blistering second half.
Having gone a goal down in the first half it looked as though Alan McDonald's men may be able to push on to equalise or keep the score-line respectable, however as the second half wore on the professional Maccabi took control and proved themselves as worthy winners.
Rafaelov put Haifa ahead after 36 minutes, leading into half time. The second half saw goals from Yaniv Katan (52), Vladimir Dvalishvili (57), to extend the Israeli lead.
As the game wore on the Glens tired and Dvalishvili (81), Shlomi Arbeitman (83) and Momahed Shahbary (89) sealed the comprehensive win for the Israeli side

Det var vel dette laget som tapte 8-0 hjemme mot Brann i Europacup kvalifisering for et par år siden og... Et pub lag fra deg grønne øya, som skal slås greit....

Game won't be a walk in the Park - Snodin
However friendly tomorrow's meeting between Leeds United and Glentoran is supposed to be, damaged pride may influence the Belfast club's commitment to a fixture of no consequence.
United's visit to the capital of Northern Ireland was little more than a distraction for Glentoran from a Champions League qualifying tie against Maccabi Haifa, but the group stages of Europe's biggest competition have slipped away from them after a torrid experience on Wednesday evening.
Glentoran were routed 6-0 during the first leg in Haifa, rendering meaningless next week's return clash at home, and United coach Glynn Snodin says the heavy loss will not be taken lightly by the Irish side.
United's coach was returning to familiar surroundings in Belfast, where he is better known as Northern Ireland's assistant manager, the role he continues to fill while part of the backroom team at Leeds.
Snodin said: "With Northern Ireland, we spend most of our time on the training field because you don't have much to prepare for international fixtures. You've got to get things right and to get them right quickly.
"But it should be a good run-out for us and every time we play at Windsor Park (Northern Ireland's national stadium) it's like playing at Elland Road. The fans over here are fanatics and they love their football. I know they got beaten 6-0 and they'll be looking to do something about that by putting on a performance against us."
Glentoran are unlikely to field a full-strength team so soon after Wednesday's game, while Leeds are aiming to record their first pre-season win after draws with York City and Shelbourne.
Both fixtures have seen United surrender two-goal leads, and Snodin said: "The only disappointment is that too many goals have been conceded.
"There's been good bits in both our games but if we're going to nit-pick then we want to get back to keeping clean sheets. Hopefully that will come as the games go along."
Goalkeeper Alan Martin could start tomorrow's match after overcoming back spasms but it is not certain whether United will risk Enoch Showunmi.
The striker has been suffering from tight hamstrings and trained alone with club physio Harvey Sharman in Dublin yesterday.

Meanwhile, Leeds' reserves will contest their first match of the summer at Garforth Town tonight.

Alan Martin will be given the rest of this month to prove himself as Leeds United weigh up the possibility of sending the goalkeeper out on loan.
Simon Grayson has revealed that a number of clubs have contacted Leeds to discuss the availability of their Scotland Under-21 international, but United's manager is unwilling to seriously consider any loan requests until shortly before the League One season kicks off.

Accrington Stanley have expressed a firm interest in securing a temporary deal for Martin, who completed much of last season on loan at non-league club Barrow, but Leeds are in no rush to release a keeper who could experience his first taste of senior football at Elland Road next term.

Grayson said: "Sending him out on loan might be an option again and I've had one or two clubs on the phone about him. That doesn't surprise me because he's a very promising keeper.

"But I'm not going to let anyone go from here until a month into pre-season because I want to make sure that everyone's had a good chance and been properly assessed before decisions like that are made.

"He was at Barrow for a while last season so I haven't actually had much of a chance to see Alan play. That's what pre-season's about. We'll have a good look at how he gets on and we'll decide then whether the best thing for him is to go and get football with another club or to stay with us."

AllWhiteTøyen · July 18, 2009, 16:07:46

Flott at snoddy fikk en goal. Forrige sesongs beste IMO.

Yes, Snoddy!

Tom S · July 18, 2009, 16:17:42

God redning etter skudd frå Becks, Robbo bommer på returen.

Du mener nok det walisiske laget Carmarthen Town, som Brann slo 8-0 borte i 2007. Ã...ret før spilte Brann mot Glentoran i kval. til UEFA-cupen. Brann vant begge kampene 1-0.

Tom S · July 18, 2009, 16:23:16

Godt forabeid avslutta med god heading frå Becks, men utanfor.

Tom S · July 18, 2009, 16:45:48

Becchio i stolpen.

Tom S · July 18, 2009, 16:46:51

0-2, Becks.

Trond90 · July 18, 2009, 16:46:55

0-2 Beckford!

Trond A · July 18, 2009, 16:46:58

0-2 Beckford

Yeboah · July 18, 2009, 17:26:37

Glentoran har (selvfølgelig) redusert. Blir vel uavgjort igjen...

AllWhiteTøyen · July 18, 2009, 17:37:50

C'mon Grella. Jeg skal uansett til Belfast i september. Aldri vært der før, men har trua på at det blir bra...Jeg prøver nok en gang: Hvor er Rui?
