The first half unfolded as it did. Tiberias created one chance on the counterattack and after the halftime substitutions, they started playing with runs and creating chaos. They have the players to do that and they did it well. Instead of using our strengths, we played into their approach, which created a lot of space for them. That was a lack of intelligence. We didn\u2019t use our advantages, but we will learn from this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tiberias bench boss Alon Ziv shared his thoughts on the loss, \u201cIt\u2019s very disappointing. We came into the game as prepared as possible to face a team like Hapoel Beer Sheva, knowing we had to make as few mistakes as possible. We also managed to limit them to very few chances. Even after conceding, we responded well and fought our way back into the game, but the feeling is still one of disappointment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hapoel Tel Aviv cruised past Kiryat Shemona 3-1<\/strong> as the Reds stayed close to the top of the table with the victory. Douglas Owusu opened the scoring with a gorgeous blast from inside of the box while Emmanuel Boateng doubled the advantage when he scored off an error by the keeper early on in the second half. Omri Altman then laced home a beautiful free kick just minutes later while Amadou Sanga broke up the clean sheet with a 90th minute penalty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe started the game very well, but after 20 minutes, Kiryat Shmona made a change that we didn\u2019t deal with properly,\u201d Hapoel Head Coach Elyanbiv Barda began. \u201cWe made some poor decisions and gave the ball away cheaply. We started the second half brilliantly and scored two good goals. The substitutes who came on didn\u2019t perform as well as I expected, and we weren\u2019t able to kill the game off. When I make substitutions, I expect the team\u2019s interests to come before individual ones. Here, I felt that everyone wanted to score. Next time, the substitutes need to come on and perform better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kiryat Shemona Head Coach Shai Barda summed up the loss, \u201cFootball is ultimately measured by goals. We played against a team that is much more talented than we are. We missed chances in the first half and were punished twice for mistakes we made. We aren\u2019t picking up enough points and we need to fix that because we don\u2019t have much time. I will do everything I can to get this team out of its current situation. The responsibility is mine. There is a recurring naivety that keeps showing up week after week. I\u2019m the team&#8217;s coach, that\u2019s my job and we will address it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maccabi Tel Aviv and Bnei Sakhnin played to a goalless draw<\/strong> at Bloomfield Stadium as the yellow-and-blue dropped their first points of the season but still remain in first place ahead of defending champions Hapoel Beer Sheva and Hapoel Tel Aviv by 3-points. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we played this game 10 times, we would win nine of them, maybe even nine and a half,\u201d a disappointed Maccabi Head Coach Kenny Miller said. \u201cIt was a frustrating night. We created chances, whether through Dor Peretz or Sagiv Yehezkel and even if I had been on the pitch, it wouldn\u2019t have made a difference. It was one of those nights when the ball simply wouldn\u2019t go in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sakhnin bench boss Yossi Abuksis was upset by how the Maccabi fans taunted him for the entire contest, \u201cThey cursed me throughout the entire game. The abuse directed at me during the game was very harsh and you didn\u2019t see all of it. It\u2019s a shame you couldn\u2019t hear what was being said above me insults that were worse than the word I used toward them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hapoel Haifa slipped by Maccabi Petach Tikva 2-1<\/strong> as Sal Pahima\u2019s second half injury time goal handed the Carmel Reds the win and the 3-points. Alon Turgeman opened the scoring early on for the hosts but Guy Amos drew the visitors even in the 70th minute. However, 21-year old Sal Pahima\u2019s volley from the top of the box handed Haim Silvas\u2019s side the points.<\/p>\n<p>Haifa bench boss Haim Silvas spoke about the win, \u201cIt was a dramatic and enjoyable victory, one that showed character. We deserved to win and we\u2019re continuing to win and that makes us happy but I could feel how fragile the game was when the score was 1-1 and we could have lost points. But I\u2019m happy that Sali Pahima, who has looked good in training matches, found the back of the goal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Petach Tikva Head Coach Ziv Arie said, \u201cThe game was played at a low intensity by both teams. We looked tired and sluggish. This is the fourth time in five games that we have conceded in the opening minutes. We had to chase the game, which was difficult. There were some poor spells, but we had a point in our hands. We were naive, but we move on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hapoel Petach Tikva and Maccabi Netanya played to a 1-1 draw<\/strong> in a spirited affair that saw Roie David score off of a Stav Israeli through ball to give the hosts the lead but a 90th minute penalty by Maor Levi leveled the score and split the points. There was some controversy near the end of the game as there were 12 Petach Tikva players on the pitch during Levi\u2019s spot kick due to confusion in substitutions that were made.<\/p>\n<p>Omer Peretz addressed the incident, \u201cWhen a substitution is made, each player is allowed 10 seconds to leave the pitch. We made three substitutions in the closing minutes and the referee restarted the game after 25 seconds without giving us the time we needed to get the players off the field. Instead of giving us an extra second or two, we were made to lose five seconds during a substitution and that\u2019s a lot of time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maccabi Netanya coach Roni Levi shared his feelings after the game, \u201cIf we can get the players into the right places and make sure they are prepared and ready for the game, then I think the team came in very well prepared, despite all the frustration. The crowd was truly amazing and the atmosphere was incredible. If I were a player, I would make things happen. But it was difficult and we just couldn\u2019t score other than the penalty.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hapoel Beer Sheva blanked Ironi Tiberias 2-0 as Joao Victor and Amankwah Forson both scored in the second half to keep pace with table leaders Maccabi Tel Aviv.
