Precisely after the goals in the cup, he was unable to express himself
The 22nd round of the Stock Exchange League opened today (Saturday) with an intriguing battle at Doha Stadium, where Bnei Sakhnin hosted Hapoel Haifa. Although only one goal was scored and the Haifa team won 0: 1, the game was full of events.
The match opened with better minutes on the part of Nisso Avitan’s team, who showed superiority and tried to subdue Ran Kadosh without success. After 43 minutes of desolation, the net moves for the first time and more how moves. Hanan Maman scored the goal of the season with a beautiful virtuoso scissor kick, but after re-watching the VAR system referee Gal Leibowitz decided to disqualify the performance on the grounds of a dangerous game (Maman kicked Lucas Spendelhoffer’s head during the kick).
If Haifa felt deprived following Leibowitz’s controversial decision, with the opening of the second half Sakhnin could also feel deprived after Kadosh touched the ball with his hand outside the box. The judge listened to his advisers at VAR and decided to continue the confrontation.
In the 67th minute, the man of the match Maman, finally decided the game and no one could take it to him after he scored with a touch from William Agada’s cook. Until the end the host tried to press and achieve the equalizer, but without success and finished with another disappointing result at home, which left her locked in the table.
On the other side of the barricade, Sylves’ Haifaites can be very pleased with the three super-important points collected from Doha. Now the Reds-Blacks with 28 points in their balance and are within touching distance of the top playoffs.
