Did Maccabi Tel Aviv give up in the championship fight? Krasteich’s team recorded a second consecutive draw in the top playoff tonight (Saturday), this time 1: 1 against Maccabi Netanya and may find itself 10 points away from the top at the end of this round. After the 0-0 draw against Sakhnin, the Yellows hoped to beat Bnei Lam’s surprising team, but Netanya thought differently and recorded their third game of the season without a loss against Maccabi Tel Aviv.
The game actually opened excellently for the visitors who led 0: 1 from a goal with a free kick by Avi Rikan (23). Maccabi Tel Aviv could have increased the advantage, but saw how its two goals were disqualified due to differences between Tal Ben Haim (goal and cooking for Lubanovich). But Netanya has taken over the game since the entry of the excellent Chen Ezra and in the second half we saw a very noticeable change of trend. Ezra changed the game and cooked for Aviv Avraham the equalizer (53). The contact then examined Daniel Peretz who worked very hard and saved some situations for Netanya, which was not really far from a prestigious victory. Maccabi Tel Aviv will now hope that the summit meeting between Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Beer Sheva on Monday will also end in a draw, with a green victory that will keep the Yellows very far from the championship battle. And Netanya? She can be happy with her excellent season, no matter how this playoff will end.
