Maccabi Tel Aviv fans could not have chosen a more perfect timing for returning to the stands. Tonight (Saturday), the yellow crowd came for the first time this season to support his team, which in the previous round qualified for the top for the first time and saw the yellow locomotive also does not stop in the north, with 0: 2 over Kiryat Shmona and a tenth consecutive victory. In second place to 4 points and stressed the Greens before their tray against Bnei Yehuda.
For Patrick Van Leven, this is a perfect closing of the circle. The Dutch coach, who first stood on the lines in 0: 1 over Kobi Refuah’s team somewhere on December 24, 2020 after the dismissal of Donis and was assisted by a controversial refereeing decision to record a debut victory, this time enjoyed much better ability from his players and did not need any help from the referees . On the other hand, the tired KS, who played nine games last month, missed an opportunity to finally secure the top playoff but following the loss of Maccabi Netanya, it is still in fifth place with 35 points.
In the first half we got a simply fantastic pace from both teams, although the Yellows were much more dangerous and as the minutes went by, the feeling was that the guest’s advantage goal was getting closer. Sharan Yeni tried his luck and Schechter recorded a big miss and after Dor Peretz squeezed a wonderful save from Dziugas Bartakos, in the 31st minute the Lithuanian goalkeeper could no longer connect, who with an elegant chip put Van Leven in the lead. If that was not enough, in the 35th minute Yoav Hoffmeister received a second yellow card and left the host with 10 players.
Despite the numerical lag, KS was not eliminated in the second half. The host went ahead and repeatedly sought the equalizer, but simply failed to actually endanger Daniel Tennenbaum’s hair. The hopes of the Northerners faded in the 82nd minute, so, a doubtful offense of this generation for giving Hozaz in the box gave the guest a very controversial penalty, which Hozaz used to close interest.
