THE UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGE group stages get under on Tuesday and American goalkeeper Josh Cohen knows that his Maccabi Haifa team is considered a deep ...

Even though he is now 30, Cohen believes he has plenty of more to accomplish in the game. We took a couple of punches, but we scored right at the end of the half gained some momentum back, gave us the confidence we needed to just go out and go for it in the second half. But for the first time, Cohen feels more comfortable to dream about it in a realistic way. There is also the issue of the national team. “The biggest part was kind of the sink or swim mentality of being tossed into a much larger pond and then having to deal with it,” Cohen recalled of moving to Israel. “I wanted to play against some of the best teams in the world, some of the best players in the world. He then moved to the Orange County Blues, Phoenix Rising, and then to the Sacramento Republic – all of the USL Championship. For Cohen, the silverware started to come in impressive numbers at Haifa. “A lot of them represent the country and are some of the strongest players on the national team. With no initial MLS interest, he moved to the Burlingame Dragons of the USL PDL. This is also a chance for them to experience the game at the highest of levels. In the Champions League, Cohen looks forward to meeting Weston McKennie and possibly John Brooks who are also in Group H.

Benfica got their Champions League Group H campaign off to a positive start with an ultimately straightforward 2-0 victory over Maccabi Haifa in Lisbon ...

Substitute Musa initially struggled to get into the game but was twice almost at the origin of a late Benfica third. With the job done, Benfica were happy to slow the pace of the match, interspersed sporadically by some electrifying Rafa Silva bursts. Not satisfied with his efforts, Grimaldo then brought the house down with a magnificent goal. Grimaldo had an opportunity from a free kick on 16 minutes, but his effort flew over the bar. Benfica coach Roger Schmidt opted for Alexander Bah at right-back over Gilberto while Antonio Silva continued to deputise for the injured Morato. Benfica’s nerves were soon settled however, thanks to marauding left-back Grimaldo.
