Yuto Nagatomo's delivery from the left skipped through the penalty area to the far side, where Eder steadied himself before rattling a shot against the post. Eder zipped another effort wide at the start of the second period, but a dreary display was belatedly punished in the 54th minute. A smart free-kick routine saw Buzaglo slip Maranhao in on the right, and his low ball across the face of goal was met by   Vitor with a clinical finish to stun the home crowd. Hapoel were not finished there, either. Handanovic stood up to beat away Buzaglo's blast and then blocked Maranhao's shot at his near post as the Brazilian again wreaked havoc. Their next attempt was dragged off target by Tony Nwakaeme, before Hoban's swaying strike dipped wide on the opposite side.Another set-piece would result in another goal, though. This time Buzaglo went direct from the free-kick and curled magnificently into the near top corner. Icardi was summoned from the bench, but even his presence could not provide Inter any relief and Hapoel instead coasted to victory, with Bitton even clipping the bar with a fine late lob.</blockquote>
