After the 0:5 over Bnei Rayna in the opening round of the ONE ZERO league, Maccabi continued to impress last night (Monday) with a big 0:6 over Hapoel Hadera in the second round. The day after we checked in the history books how rare the start of the current season is and the numbers are in front of you.
0:11 – So right now we can tell you that starting a season with two wins and a goal difference of 0:11 is the best in the history of the club.
1 – In addition, Maccabi scored 4 goals already after 25 minutes and such an event happened only 8 times in the history of the league. Maccabi did this only once before – in 1955 in 0:12 against Hapoel Belfuria.
4 – Only four teams in the past scored 3 goals in 4 minutes, one of them is Maccabi which in 1992/93 beat Beitar Tel Aviv 6:0 in a game in which Meir Malika (18th minute), Nir Klinger (19th) and Avi Niemani ( 21) Score in 4 minutes.
21 – This is the 21st season (out of 71 seasons since the establishment of the state) that Maccabi starts a season with 2 wins, since the 2016/17 season (including the 2 championship seasons with Ivić) the team has not started the season with 2 wins.
In addition, since Maccabi Tel Aviv of the 1951/52 season (1:9 in the opening round against Maccabi Rashtov and 2:2 against Maccabi Rehovot in the second round) no league team has opened a season with 11 goals in the 2 opening rounds.
0 – Until yesterday, no team in history had opened the 2 league games with a double-digit balance of right goals and zero mandatory goals.
2 – Maccabi is also the second team overall to score 4 goals in 2 consecutive games in the first half. The first was Hapoel PT Ishem in October 1955.
20 – In the last 20 seasons, Maccabi achieved only one victory with a difference of 6 goals – the 0:6 over Maccabi Haifa in the final round of the 2015/16 season. That game was Eran Zahavi’s last game in a Maccabi uniform in the league before he left abroad.
6 – Along the way, Maccabi achieved a sixth league victory in a row over Hadera “Aal Ha’afs”. In doing so, she increased the league record she holds for consecutive victories “on zero” against a specific opponent.
7 – Distribution of the 11 goals so far: Djorja Jovanovic (3), Oskar Gluch (2), Stiffa Fritsa (2), Eran Zahavi, Avi Rikan, Enrik Saborit and Dor Peretz. These are seven different conquerors until the second round – equal to the league record of Maccabi Tel Aviv 1955 and Maccabi Haifa 2003.
