Joris van Overreem opened the scoring in the 36th minute to give the visitors a 1-0 lead but ex-Maccabi striker Matan Hozez\u2019s right footed stunner drew the two sides even a quarter hour later. However, Sagiv Yehezkel slotted home a penalty and substitute Dor Peretz scored within three minutes of each other to give Zarko Lazetic\u2019s squad a 3-1 lead in the 68th minute. Samba cut the lead to 3-2 in the 91st but that was as close as the reds would get as Maccabi closed out the victory. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe controlled the game well and we pressed well throughout the game,\u201d Lazetic said following the game. \u201cWe conceded two goals out of three attempts, but that&#8217;s football. We&#8217;ll know where we need to improve for the next game. I&#8217;m happy with the game we played, with how we pressed, with how we controlled the ball, but we looked a little tired. I&#8217;m expecting a little more sharpness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur first half wasn&#8217;t good,\u201d Jerusalem Head Coach Ziv Arie began. \u201cThis happens to us a lot against these types of teams. Maccabi pressed in a way that we weren&#8217;t properly prepared for. Part of growing as a team is to end a half like that at 0-0. We had a great second half, we scored a goal and tied the game, but this team&#8217;s immaturity was at its worst and we conceded two unnecessary goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maccabi Haifa and Ironi Tiberias played to a goalless draw<\/strong> as the two sides split the points. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t argue with results and ability,\u201d Haifa coach Barak Bachar began. \u201cWe started the game well, but we weren\u2019t sharp enough up front. We had some bad minutes in the second half and we just didn\u2019t have enough to win this game. I built the squad, I\u2019m happy with it and we need to get more out of it. A win here could have created momentum, but the gap to first is still something that can be closed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;re happy with the point,\u201d Tiberias bench boss Eliran Hodeda said. \u201cA drawing this game wasn\u2019t something that we had thought could happen at the beginning of the season, obviously when we&#8217;re playing against the big teams we play a tighter defense. We have to take points no matter from who or from where.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maccabi Tel Aviv downed Hapoel Jerusalem 3-2 in an entertaining match that saw the yellow-and-blue take the 3-points at Teddy Stadium.
