For about two minutes Maccabi Haifa were stressed, after Lucio’s advantage goal from Kiryat Shmona, but then Barak Bachar’s Greens came into action and recorded one of the most impressive performances of the season, after beating 2: 4 at the end last night (Saturday).
Bachar came to the game without the away team: Dolev Haziza, San Menachem and Id Habashi. Nikita Rokavica is recovering from the corona virus, Charon Sheri may have been on the roster, but did not train for ten days and Yuval Ashkenazi is not 100 percent qualified. The coach gave credit to Ernest Mabuka and Noble Omar and both returned with cooks. The Israeli recorded his best game for Maccabi Haifa, especially in the first half.
The offensive striker Goodsway Donio has scored a fourth game in a row in all competitions, and beyond that he has recorded many positive moves. Above them all stood out Muhammad Abu Fani who scored his first double in the seniors, including a formidable 25-yard goal, as well as Neta Lavie who was active in the attacking game and his hair was disqualified. Muhammad Awad, who came in as a substitute, also received compliments for his fighting and personal actions, even though Lavi humorously accused him of disqualifying the goal (“Why did you touch the hand?”).
With the final whistle, all the people of Maccabi Haifa had a mood – from Yaakov Shachar to the last of the players. For the first time this season, Maccabi Haifa scored four goals. “This is the real Maccabi Haifa, the team we want to see,” the club said.
Barak Bachar He concluded: “It was important to earn a lot of players, even young people who came in and were good. Coming back from an early delay is very encouraging. Now we will prepare for the game on Wednesday against a team (Hapoel Tel Aviv) in great shape.”
Bogdan Planich Who scored his second goal of the season referred to Haifa’s rival at the top after the gap grew to five points: “It was a tough game, especially in the first half until the red. It’s good we got back into the game so fast, we had an easier after the red. “More on the ball, do not rush. We made a mistake in the free kick. The important thing is that we won and we put pressure on Maccabi Tel Aviv.”
Towards Wednesday, Bachar will get back Nikita Rokavica, San Menachem, who has finished serving a suspension, and possibly Yuval Ashkenazi, who has returned to training.
Meanwhile, the club were pleased with the pilot run and the technology that is expected to help when the crowd returns to the stadiums. Maccabi Haifa is waiting for developments in this area.
