Before the break Michael Ohana added the third goal while Guy Melamed nodded in another Benson ball to close out the victory. <\/p>\n<p>Haifa Head Coach Barak Bakhar said after the match, \u201cWe deserve to smile after this game and following a tough game last week. We scored an early goal, which helped us and from there the game flowed as the attacks kept coming, plus the crowd enjoyed it. We\u2019re constantly pushing for more even when we\u2019re leading.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sakhnin interim coach Ayman Abu Yunis shared his thoughts, \u201cWe came here with a game plan to press high, but we conceded an early goal from a set piece and that disrupted all of our plans.
