After a goalless first half Bnei Yehuda\u2019s Matan Baltaxa was pulled down in the box by Marcus Diniz as Ljuji\u0107 converted the spot kick. Roi Ben Shimon added a late insurance goal to give Elisha Levy\u2019s team the victory. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cA team that wants to stay in the league can\u2019t play like this,\u201d said a distraught Kiryat Shemona coach Kobi Refuah. \u201cWe had to give so much more so we will put everything we have into our game on Thursday. Bnei Yehuda played open soccer and we couldn\u2019t take advantage of it. We lost because we deserved to lose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ashdod blew away Maccabi Netanya 5-2<\/strong> in one of the craziest games of the season. The diamond city squad grabbed a 1-0 lead via a Guy Melamed header in the 9th minute but a Caram Jabar red card in the 18th minute led to a Roie Gordana penalty as the flood gates opened. Idan Dahan scored a brace while Muhammed Kna\u2019an and Dean David each found the back of the goal to give Ashdod a 5-1 advantage. Nico Olsak pulled a goal back via a penalty but it was too little, too late as Ran Ben Shimon\u2019s team recorded a 5-2 win. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe game began in our favor after the red card and penalty,\u201d said Ben Shimon. \u201cThis was a wonderful team effort and it was fun to see so many young players contributing. Eventhough we are heading towards the end of the season, it\u2019s important that we set up the future generation of players.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Slobodan Drapic didn\u2019t hide his disappointment, \u201cThe red card threw our game into disarray and we have gotten many reds this season. We have to forget about this season and begin to prepare for the next campaign. It\u2019s not pleasant to give up five goals.\u201d<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u05de\u05d7\u05d6\u05d5\u05e8 33 | \u05ea\u05e7\u05e6\u05d9\u05e8: \u05d4\u05e4\u05d5\u05e2\u05dc \u05d7\u05d9\u05e4\u05d4 - \u05d1\u05d9\u05ea&quot;\u05e8 \u05d9\u05e8\u05d5\u05e9\u05dc\u05d9\u05dd 0-0\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xzZq4u5ASaw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<strong>Hapoel Haifa and Beitar Jerusalem played to a goalless draw<\/strong> at Sammy Ofer Stadium as the capital city side has yet to win a game in the Championship Playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery playoff game is important,\u201d explained Levy. \u201cAnd we are having a very tough time wrapping up a spot in Europe.
