The Yellow &#038; Blue looked the better team throughout the first half, but were unable to convert from the opportunities that they created while in possession 57% of the time. Madmon looked the most threatening for the home team, peppering at the goal with energy. He celebrated a header from a Dan Biton delivery after 11 minutes, however the goal was canceled out after the VAR review. Eran Zahavi also found the back of the net in the 34th minute with an entertaining bicycle kick, but he too was offside. While Maccabi dominated, Sakhnin looked threatening only on the rebound, with the sides going into the dressing rooms at halftime 0-0.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_117195\" style=\"width: 2010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-117195\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/MTA_202408180652528ffbb6862806e49587a762a476e5180b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" class=\"size-full wp-image-117195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/MTA_202408180652528ffbb6862806e49587a762a476e5180b.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/MTA_202408180652528ffbb6862806e49587a762a476e5180b-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/MTA_202408180652528ffbb6862806e49587a762a476e5180b-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/MTA_202408180652528ffbb6862806e49587a762a476e5180b-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/MTA_202408180652528ffbb6862806e49587a762a476e5180b-610x407.jpg 610w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/MTA_202408180652528ffbb6862806e49587a762a476e5180b-1080x720.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-117195\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo credit: Maccabi Tel Aviv<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nThe second half was more of the same as the first, with Maccabi looking more threatening than Sakhnin, but unable to get on the board. Sakhnin was the first to make changes in the 60th minute, with Basil Khuri and Paata Gudushauri making way for Ahmed Ibrahim Salman and Anis Iash. Shortly after Madmon and Biton were replaced by Dor Peretz and Osher Davida. However it was when Sakhnin made additional moves in the 65th minute that they seemed to look more threatening, with Omer Abuhav and Abdallah Khlaikhal coming on for Ahmed Taha and Alexandre Ramalingom. The fresh players for Sakhnin gave them more energy, with Salman forcing Malika to save the shot and prevent the visitors taking a shock lead. The momentum started to swing back towards Maccabi when they themselves made changes, with Raz Shlomo and Hisham Layous coming on for Henry Addo and Matan Baltaxa.<\/p>\n<p>While the game looked like it may be headed to penalties, it was a spot kick that finally broke the deadlock, with Zahavi scoring in the 83rd minute after Roy Revivo was deemed to have been fouled in the box. Zahavi immediately was substituted for Dor Turgeman, who instantly made an impact with a beautiful ball to Ido Shachar, but he was unable to convert in what was just another wasted opportunity for the Yellow &#038; Blue. Just a minute into extra time Sakhnin\u2019s Itay Ben Hemo illegally brought down Turgeman and was sent off with a red card, however Turgeman was unable to convert the resulting penalty, but he made up for it just minutes later with a nice pass to Davida who converted to give Maccabi a 2-0 lead. While it looked like Melika might collect a clean sheet, sloppy defense allowed Khlaikhal to get one goal back for Sakhnin before the final whistle was blown.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_117197\" style=\"width: 828px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-117197\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/MTA_20240818074625e75afb09ee2841a44fb2db0b009bcc99-818x460-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"818\" height=\"460\" class=\"size-full wp-image-117197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/MTA_20240818074625e75afb09ee2841a44fb2db0b009bcc99-818x460-1.jpg 818w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/MTA_20240818074625e75afb09ee2841a44fb2db0b009bcc99-818x460-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/MTA_20240818074625e75afb09ee2841a44fb2db0b009bcc99-818x460-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/MTA_20240818074625e75afb09ee2841a44fb2db0b009bcc99-818x460-1-610x343.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 818px) 100vw, 818px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-117197\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Eran Zahavi &#8211; Photo credit: Maccabi Tel Aviv<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n\u201cCongratulations to Bnei Sakhnin and coach for a good game, Maccabi manager Zarko Lazetic said after the game. \u201cToday I\u2019m satisfied with the way we played.
