Brandly Quas, Score: 8
Kanikovsky was excellent but the substitute came in and showed strengths of appearing since the victory over Maccabi Haifa in September. Arranged the pendulum and cooked artfully
Ben Wahba, Score: 4
Until the penalty kick, Hapoel Haifa was more dangerous than Maccabi. It is not clear what he thought to himself
Just before they meet PSV Eindhoven and Eran Zehavi in the reciprocal of the Express League, Maccabi Tel Aviv recorded tonight (Sunday) a fourth consecutive league victory and this time 0: 2 over Hapoel Haifa. The Yellows came only four points away from Hapoel Beer Sheva II, which has one point less than the leading Maccabi Haifa.
Despite the win, the Yellows can be worried about the defensive ability they displayed in the first half. The guests from the Carmel came with quite a few opportunities, but were not accurate and will now focus on the next task – the Haifa derby. Elisha Levy’s team has moved away from the top spot in the top playoffs at the end of the season and hopes to win the important game for the Reds fans.
Krestajic: The players were motivated
Maccabi Tel Aviv coach Mladen Krestajic chose to come up with the offensive line-up, which left his team very exposed behind. The Yellows did control the ball more, but the visitors had a dangerous opportunity in almost every passing attack. Alan Ozbolt was the first to threaten as early as the second minute, but the Slovenian striker was inaccurate. Alon Turgeman came up with three great opportunities, but time and time again was inaccurate and unable to find the net.
Krestic did not like what he saw in the first half and made a triple substitution already at the start of the second half when he put Matan Balteksa, Tal Ben Haim and Brandley Kwas on the field. The bench players who came in, returned to the Serbian coach already after five minutes. Kwas picked up a ball into the box, Baltexa was pushed by Ben Wahba and squeezed a penalty kick from 11 yards out. Stepa Fritza went to kick and sent a huge missile into the net of Ohad Levita.
The duo Kwas and Balteksa continued to make trouble for Hapoel Haifa. The Dutchman found a great head of the brake, who slammed hard and doubled the advantage of the Yellows. From there the visitors gave up the game and yellows cruised on their way to a fourth consecutive league victory.
