Former hostages, Maccabi fan Emily Damari and Hapoel Haifa fan Romi Gonen, joined the players on the pitch in an emotional pregame ceremony.<\/p>\n
Once the game got underway, Osher Davida opened the scoring for the Yellow & Blue in the 8th minute after Yoav Gerafi was unable to effectively clear the ball after saving an Issouf Sissokho shot on target. Maccabi continued to dominate the flow of the game and the lead doubled in the 35th minute, with Roy Revivo heading the ball into the back of the net from a perfect corner ball from Gabi Kanichowsky. Things then went from bad to worse for the visitors just before the end of the half, with Thiemoko Diarra being handed a red card after he elbowed Maccabi captain Eran Zahavi in the face while trying to dribble past him \u2013 the Reds from Haifa down 2-0 and a man after 45 minutes.<\/p>\n
Shortly after play resumed, Hapoel Haifa was down to 9 men after Dramane Salou was also handed a red card for an illegal tackle. Maccabi continued to pepper the goals and Ido Shachar \u2013 minutes after replacing Joris Van Overeem \u2013 scored courtesy of a Dor Turgeman assist in the 60th minute. The rest of the game continued to be played on Maccabi\u2019s terms, but were unable to add more goals.<\/p>\n
While happy with the result, Maccabi coach \u017darko Lazetic was not happy that his team was unable to convincingly put away their undermanned opponents.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the second half I was not satisfied, we didn\u2019t play like killers, but rather for show \u2013 not how I would like to see the team.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe did not start the game well,\u201d Hapoel Haifa coach Ronny Levy summed up the game. \u201cTo then go down both scores and players, it\u2019s not how we wanted to start the playoffs. Let\u2019s say that we are already waiting for the next game to correct today\u2019s game. We cannot afford to break, it\u2019s dangerous. It\u2019s very disappointing.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the Upper Playoff\u2019s other game earlier on Saturday, Hapoel Beer Sheva maintained its lead at the top of the standings with a 2-0 win over Maccabi Netanya at Turner Stadium, courtesy of a first-half injury time goal to Miguel \u00c2ngelo Leonardo V\u00edtor from a corner set play and a 68th minute goal to Eliel Peretz.<\/p>\n

Like in Tel Aviv, there was also an emotional ceremony prior to the game, with the ceremony in Beer Sheva in honor of released hostage Iair Horn.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnother emotional ceremony, another action,\u201d Beer Sheva coach Ran Kozuch said after the game. \u201cOur club deserves a lot of credit for what it does and all the time puts the issue of hostages on the agenda. I was very emotional, I think the players were too. But we very quickly saw that they know what needed to be done today in order to leave with the points.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not satisfied,\u201d Netanya coach Yossi Abukasis said after the loss. \u201cOur start was typical of the whole game. We started terrible with lots of turnovers. We weren\u2019t able to hold the ball and that allowed Beer Sheva to attach us.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the Lower Payoff bracket, Ironi Tiberias and Hapoel Hadera played a 1-1 draw at Green Stadium, with Adeniyi Segun James\u2019s 85th goal the visitors cancelling out Waheb Habiballah\u2019s 63rd minute goal.<\/p>\n
\u201cHadera were better if we\u2019re honest,\u201d Tiberias coach Eliran Hudeda said after the game. \u201cAt this stage of the season, you have to know to play for the result. It was not as good a game for us in terms of football, the point is very important at the moment.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe also had countless chances in the first half,\u201d Hadera coach Kostika spoke of the game. \u201cI knew that even if Tiberias won, it would be a sting out of nowhere. I’m glad that at least we got the equalizer, it’s a shame we didn’t take advantage of the chances and win.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hapoel Kiryat Shmona defeated Maccabi Petah Tikvah 2-1 at Netanya Stadium, Tamir Glazer\u2019s second-half goal for Petah Tikvah not enough for the visitors to negate Esmiraldo S\u00e1 da Silva\u2019s and Alfredo Horacio Stephens Francis\u2019s earlier goals.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are enjoying ourselves and in the first half especially this was seen,\u201d Kiryat Shmona coach Shai Barda said after the game. \u201cIt\u2019s our third victory over them this season, the players deserve the credit.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the ability we showed in the second half it\u2019s possible to remain in the Winner League,\u201d Petah Tikvah coach Tamir Luzon said after the game. \u201cWe need to show this in many more stages of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hapoel Jerusalem defeated Bnei Sakhnin 4-1 at Jerusalem\u2019s Teddy Stadium, with each of Matan Hozez and Ohad Almagor scoring a brace for the home team, while Barnes Osei scored the visitors\u2019 sole goal.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cBefore everything let\u2019s speak about the important things,\u201d Hapoel Jerusalem coach Ziv Arie started the press conference. \u201cWe met Hersh Goldberg-Polan\u2019s parents at hostage Square, they urged us to keep fighting for the return of all hostages. Football? Everything pales in comparison to what Is happening here in the country. We send strength to everyone\u2019s families.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI knew that the situation was not simple,\u201d Sakhnin coach Meni Koretski said after the loss. \u201cThere\u2019s been a change of coaches [after he replaced Slobodan Drapi\u0107], the players lack confidence \u2013 but to the tell the truth, it was too easy for Hapoel Jerusalem.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
