Hapoel Haifa picked up a point against Maccabi Netanya, who played better and lacked a finishing leg. Aviv Avraham was injured and Beni Lam was left with a headache and a stuttering team.
On paper, statistically, Maccabi Netanya should have won. Historically, Hapoel Haifa has not beaten the Diamonds since December 2018. Admittedly, the statistics have not changed, but Netanya has not improved either. Despite many opportunities for diamonds, Netanya registers a third round in which they were unable to find the back of the net. This is also Netanya’s ninth away game without a win.
Netanya’s coach, Benny Lam, changed the lineup and gave an opportunity to Moshe Mola. By the way, he missed an opportunity to score an advantage in the fourth minute. Aviv Avraham was neutralized in the 20th minute following a tackle and ended the game. His replacement, Eitan Azoulai, scored several opportunities to threaten Haifa’s goal. Patrick Tuamasi, who returned from injury and entered the game, also made the Haifa fans miss a beat. Tovmasi threatened the goal of a Leviathan fan on several occasions. Opportunities that did not mature to score an advantage in favor of Netanya.
Sunday morning, Netanya reported that after a series of tests Avraham is suffering from a sprain. The luck is that Abraham will have time to rest at least until after the Rosh Hashanah break. On the other hand, Erich Barko’s condition is not good. At this rate, there is a high chance that he will find himself outside the team in the January transfer window.
