Jake Cohen spoke about the matchup against Eilat: "I don't look at who we will face in a week or two, we now have the game against Eilat, and it is an important game for us. We haven't won the Cup since I got back to Maccabi and I really want to bring it back, so now it's the time. We have a great locker room, and we will try to keep it going".
