Home United Steve Darby was delighted with the fightback his team showed at Lebanon to secure the 3-3 draw.

2 goals down against Olympic Beirut he must have thought of the worst as most of the Olympic Beirut players were far bigger than the local players & even the foreign players Egmar could not matched them in physical size thus allowing the Lebanon side to control the game up to that point.

However he saw this team bring out the mental strength which allowed them to dominate the domestic scene last season & achieved a remarkable recovery with 2 goals in 5 minutes to level up the score.

Now he hoped the team will continue to show that spirit in the second leg against Olympic Beirut as the team would need it.
