Since the reduction of the Premier League to 14 teams and the arrangement according to which the former hosts the latter in the second round of the top playoffs, there have been no away victories (seven home wins and three draws) and the leader has always continued to win the championship. Maccabi Haifa extended this streak this evening (Saturday) with a small and precious 0:1 over Hapoel Beer Sheva from the feet of Franzi Pierro (27), who increased the lead at the top to seven points with eight rounds left in the season. Even the constant preoccupation with the possibility of Barak Becher moving to Red Star Belgrade did not prevent his players from keeping the house and taking a significant step towards a third championship in a row.

the progress of the game
Oral Greenfeld blew his whistle to start the season
Smoke grenades caused the game to stop after only 50 seconds, but in a short time Greenfeld ordered it to be resumed
Yehezkel tripped Haziza from behind and received an early yellow card
Haziza recovered and tried his power from 20 meters, Glazer received without problems
Elias was sent to the box, Gershon shook him with the shoulder and the Beer Sheva midfielder hit Josh Cohen and needed treatment as well. A problem for both groups
Elias couldn’t go on, broke down in tears and turned on a stretcher. Tibi entered in his place and Barreiro was diverted to link
Lopes advanced unimpeded from the left back position and kicked from a distance, the ball hit Abu Fani and went past the crossbar. First fund for Hapoel Beer Sheva
0:1 to Maccabi Haifa! Haziza moved to the right, broke into the box and his cross was blocked. The greens asked for a hand touch, but Atzili continued and deflected towards Piero who pressed close. Atzili was hoping for assist number 10 this season, but the ball touched defenders on the way, so he was not credited with an assist
Ansa sent a great ball to Kalimela who was left alone in front of Josh Cohen, but from a diagonal angle on the left he kicked into the body of the goalkeeper who prevented an equalizer
Ansa took advantage of a hole in the defense and was on his way to being left alone against Josh Cohen, but the great Sek sent a long leg and saved him perfectly
Faun picked up a corner from the left, Ansa hit towards Vitor who surprised with a cross, but who if not Sk put his head down and stopped another attempt
Korno fell asleep and Ezekiel grabbed the ball from him and ran towards the box, but ended up with a kick in the hands of Josh Cohen
The captains Vitor and Sherry clashed, Greenfeld calmed down by talking and did not draw a card despite Sherry’s flip to the back of Vitor’s neck
Barreiro complained to Greenfeld and received a yellow card in the sixth minute of added time to the first half
Already nine minutes into added time: Fawn picked up another corner and Lopes hit an arcing ball from the edge of the area into the hands of Josh Cohen
Gordana released himself excellently in the center of the field and managed to put a deep ball into Kalimela who had already run to Sek, but kicked out
Hapoel Be’er Sheva continued to accumulate funds, Kalimela hit over the goal
Korno easily passed Yehezkel who stopped him with a foul from behind just before entering the square. Even Ezekiel himself was waiting for the second yellow, but Greenfeld took pity and did not draw
Saba came in nicely from the right and kicked from a difficult angle towards the frame, Glazer headed into the corner
First substitution at Maccabi Haifa: Jaber came in to help the midfielder instead of goal scorer Piero
Sondgren found Haziza in the area, who ran into Tibi and fell. Greenfeld signaled to continue
Hapoel Beer Sheva with a double substitution: Shafi and Hatuel at the expense of Yehezkel and Ansa
Hatuel was stopped on the 16th line, Shamir reached the ball and kicked high over the goal
Azili fell and did not receive a whistle, Sondgren immediately clipped Hatuel and was punished with a yellow card
Gershon raised a high leg, reached the ball but also hit Kalimela and saw a yellow
Haziza cut from the left side and kicked on the right to the near corner from 16 meters, Glazer headed for the corner
Atzil finished a rather anemic match, Muhammad entered in his place
Hatuel ran away from Sundgren and Abu Fani, but his shot from the edge of the box was weak and Josh Cohen saved
Another double substitution of Hapoel Beer Sheva: Micah and Sfori instead of Faun and Gordana
Spurry moved from the right and Hatuel rose high above Abu Fani, but hit wide
Sherry received a ball from our corner inside the box and kicked in, but he was deep in the gap and the goal was disallowed of course
Haziza left and Dean David entered in his place in the last substitution beat of Maccabi Haifa
Shafi broke free on the right, misled Korno and turned hard to the left from the edge of the box, but high over the goal
