Beitar and Hapoel played to a 1-1 draw<\/strong> in the Jerusalem Derby as Awaka Ashta scored in the first half to give the reds the lead but a late Yarden Shua penalty for the yellow-and-blue split the points and move into second place on the table. <\/p>\n

Yarin Levi and Matan Hozez traded chances early on while Johnbosco Kalu sent a laser beam towards the goal that was pawed to safety by the reds keeper Nadav Zamir in the 20th minute. Omer Atzily\u2019s smart attempt was caught by Zamir, Guy Badash\u2019s shock shot was taken care of by Miguel Silva at the other end, but Yonatan Laish sent a terrific through ball to Awaka Ashta who beat the Beitar keeper to give Hapoel a 1-0 lead in the 40th minute.

\nThe yellow-and-black continued to pour on the offense but both Kalu and Brayan Carabali\u2019s fantastic chances were saved by Zamir while the latter\u2019s header off a Yarden Shua went into the stands as the half ended with Ziv Arie\u2019s team nursing a 1-0 advantage.

\nCedric Don smashed the ball off the bar as the reds looked to double their advantage while chances were at a premium for Beitar as they kept possession but couldn\u2019t create an opportunity to get off a quality shot. Badash sent another ball right into Silva\u2019s hands, Kalu and Yona\u2019s long shots was easily gobbled up by Zamir, however, the tide would turn just minutes later.

\nShua flicked the ball to Avi Ben Shimol who slice into the box and was yanked down by Ashta handing the aforementioned Shua a penalty that he promptly slotted home to draw Beitar even at 1-1 sending the fans into a frenzy. But Hapoel still had something left as Hozez came flying down the right flank but Silva tapped the ball to safety while Beitar tried in earnest to find the winner but it was not to be at the referee blew the final whistle and sent the sides home with a point a piece.

\n\u201cIt was a tough game and we had plenty of chances and the statistics looked good,\u201d Beitar Jerusalem Head Coach Barak Itzhaki began. \u201cBut we also have to figure out how to win and also not to lose. It happens to us a a lot this season where teams play is very tight and we have to find a way to beat their defense. At the end of the day we finished the first round of matches in second place overall.\u201d

\nHapoel Jerusalem Head Coach Ziv Arie commented, \u201cWe are a good team and we believe in ourselves but unfortunately we didn\u2019t win the game. We are always playing hard no matter what the situation and we are always trying to find a way to win.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yarden Shua spoke about the draw, \u201cThis was a very difficult game for us and we had Torino\u2019s doing the things we normally are able to do well. We are not that happy about the result but we still have plenty of games left in the season and we will look forward from here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ofek Nadir talked about the result, \u201cWe didn\u2019t start the game well as the fans really pushed Beitar but we were able to settle things down and we had some solid chances. We had to know how to keep the result but it\u2019s disappointing that we ended up playing to a draw.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hapoel Beer Sheva blanked Maccabi Tel Aviv 1-0<\/strong> as Igor Zlatanovic payed a perfect give and go with Dan Bitton to find the back of the goal for the lone marker of the match which handed the southern reds the 3-points over the second place yellow-and-blue. <\/p>\n

Ran Kozuk summed up the win \u201cFirst of all, I think the fans deserve credit because we we didn\u2019t want to disappoint them so we made sure we came in with a lot of momentum. It was important for us to come into a packed stadium and the crowd gave us a lot. Maccabi\u2019s a quality team and it\u2019s not easy to keep up with them but we did so and we need to understand what types of rivals we\u2019re facing at the top of the standings. The league is more balanced this year than last and the mid-table teams are making things tough.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zarko Lazetic also shared his thoughts, \u201cI\u2019m very pleased with how we played; obviously the result is disappointing. What didn\u2019t work for us in this game is that we didn\u2019t score, that\u2019s all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maccabi Netanya took the hard fought win over Hapoel Haifa 4-3<\/strong> as Wilson Harris scored deep into second half injury time to take the victory. Junior Diomande scored off a free kick while Oz Bilu scored in the 45th minute to go up 2-0, however, just before halftime Ofek Bitton scored to pull a goal back for the diamond city side. The Carmel reds drew even at 2-2 via an own goal by their keeper Omer Niron but Maor Levi gave Netanya a 3-2 lead in the 56th minute. Javon East headed home the tying goal for the southern reds but Wilson Harris headed in the winning goal in second half added time. <\/p>\n

Maccabi Netanya Head Coach Yossi Abukasis gave his thoughts about the game, \u201cI don\u2019t recall such statistics for shots on target and the amount of chances we\u2019ve been creating in recent matches is equal to a whole season. At least the game ended in a win and we deserved the win. I told the players that if we continue playing as we had been then we would eventually win.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hapoel Haifa bench boss Gal Arel commented, \u201cWe lacked the concentration to hold the lead. The last goal we conceded came after our own counterattack. The result in this game could have gone either way. It was dramatic ad fun for the spectator but less so for us.<\/p>\n

Ashdod and Ironi Tiberias drew 1-1<\/strong> as Noam Muche scored at the stroke of halftime to give the port city squad the lead but Itamar Shviro came back in the sending half to find the equalizer for the Kinneret based squad as each side took a point for their efforts. <\/p>\n

Haim Silvas summarized the draw, \u201cThe first half was completely under our control. Tiberias crowded the middle and it was difficult. We managed to take a 1\u20130 lead and we wanted to draw them out and go up 2\u20130. We’re disappointed with the draw and we move on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eliran Hodida also spoke about the draw, \u201cThe draw reflected the match. Ashdod were more dominant in the first half, we were more dominant in the second. We\u2019re looking ahead to the next game. We need to maintain consistency over time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bnei Sakhnin slipped by Maccabi Bnei Reineh 1-0<\/strong> as Arthur Miranyan scored a 95th minute goal to secure the 3-points and the win. <\/p>\n

Sahknin Head Coach Sharon Mimer said, \u201cThere was no pressure, it was the joy of a sweet victory in added time. We had a second half with chances I don\u2019t know how we missed. At the end of the day in my opinion, justice prevailed and this is a very important win for the table that gives us distance from the bottom and confidence moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Adham Hadiya did not hide his disappointment, \u201cThere were three shots off the post, but the ball just didn\u2019t go in during the first half and we had clear chances but we simply weren\u2019t focused. The ball didn\u2019t want to go in. We tried to make changes and send in more attacking tools to no avail.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
