Ashdod stunned Maccabi Tel Aviv 3-2<\/strong> with a late goal by Sagiv Yehezkel by the port city to take the points ahead of the yellow-and-blue\u2019s decisive Europa League match on Thursday against Sivasspor for a ticket to the competition\u2019s Round of 32.<\/p>\n

Fahad Bayo opened the scoring for the hosts in the 20th minute when he took advantage of a poor backpass by Dan Bitton to give Ashdod the lead. Luis Hernandez headed home the equalizer off a Bitton cross in the 53rd minute while less than ten minutes later Yonatan Cohen pounced on a ball in the box to give Georgios Donis\u2019s squad a 2-1 advantage. However, in the 69th minute Shlomi Azulay launched a 14 meter scorcher that beat keeper Daniel Tenenbaum to tie the game up and ten minutes later Sagiv Yehezkel worked his way into the Maccabi box to score the winner.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe played average soccer today but with a huge heart,\u201d said Ashdod\u2019s coach Ran Ben Shimon. \u201cWe are a much better club than how we played but to be able to win this game is really something else.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maccabi coach Donis was less than thrilled with his team\u2019s performance, \u201cThis was a tough day for us and for us to lose a game like this means we\u2019ve taken a huge step backwards. Sometimes there are no words, it\u2019s soccer. In a game like this we had to control the lace of play throughout.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hapoel Beer Sheva slipped by Beitar Jerusalem 2-1<\/strong> at Teddy Stadium thanks to a second half brace by embattled star Josue who had been suspended by the team a couple of weeks earlier. Yarden Shua got the yellow-and-black on the board with his first goal as a member of Beitar by heading home an Oran Bitton cross in they 17th minute. Beer Sheva drew even on a controversial penalty by Josue in the 65th minute after Or Dadia went down in the box due to minimal contact while the Portuguese striker completed the comeback on a 16 meter marker five minutes later to hand the points to Yossi Abuksis\u2019s squad.<\/p>\n

\u201cJosue is learning,\u201d said Abuksis following the win. \u201cHe understands that his love for the game is above all. After being out for two games as a punishment he would rather pay $100,000 to play than to sit on the side again. All in all we played a good second half but we have to know that we need to play tougher defense as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beitar\u2019s Coach Shay Barda looked back at the game, \u201cWe wanted to win and the players were focussed as we played a good first half. But I don\u2019t know what happened with they penalty and that is up to the referee. I believe that you all saw what happened there and I don\u2019t think that if there was a crowd of 35,000 people here it would have been as easy to call that penalty.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maccabi Haifa squashed Kiryat Shmona 3-0<\/strong> thanks to three late second half goals to take the victory. After a goalless first half, Dolev Haziza was pulled down in the box in the 74th minute and converted the spot kick for a 1-0 lead. Just four minutes later Tjaron Chery\u2019s cross went off of Idan Nachmias and being Kiryat Shmona keeper Dzigius Bartkus to double the Green\u2019s advantage while Nikita Rukavytsya finished off a Chery through ball in the 85th minute to take the win.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s my daughter\u2019s Bat Mitzvah and I promised her that we would win,\u201d said Haifa coach Barak Bachar. \u201cThis was a tough game against the only team that hadn\u2019t lost yet this season. But we continued with how we played last game and took the 3-points.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dolev Haziza who scored the first goal via penalty also reflected on the game, \u201cI knew I was going to score no matter what. This was a big win and that\u2019s what is most important in my mind. I was a bit nervous at the start of the season with a new coach but he\u2019s had faith and belief in me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to complain about the referees yet again but this was over the edge and I\u2019m upset,\u201d said a disgruntled Kiyat Shemona coach Kobi Refuah. \u201cMaccabi Haifa is a good enough team without the help of the whistle here or there, but we will just have to keep working.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bnei Sakhnin blanked Hapoel Haifa 2-0<\/strong> as Ben Vahaba was shown a straight red card for a reckless foul on Beram Kayal paving the way to a pair of goals by Osama Khalaila and Moti Barshatzky to give Niso Avitan\u2019s side the 3-points.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were able to take the 3 points despite getting off to a rough start,\u201d said Avitan. \u201cAs time went by we started to play better and we were able to stand up to Hapoel Haifa who are a very string team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Haifa coach Haim Silvas couldn\u2019t hide his disappointment, \u201cWe had to be better in the first 25 minutes or so and score. Up until the red card we played well and then things started going backwards. After we gave up the first goal we knew it would be tough to come back and then we conceded a second.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maccabi Petah Tikva scored a dramatic 92nd goal to take a 1-0 win and the 3-points against 10-man Bnei Yehuda<\/strong>. Shay Mazur received a red card in the 50th minute for a flagrant elbow to Arad Bar giving Guy Luzon\u2019s squad an extra man but it took until injury time for hosts to take advantage of the situation when Tai Baribo scored in the box to secure the victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe played against a team that knows how to play defense very well,\u2019 said a satisfied Petah Tikva coach Guy Luzon. \u201cWe knew that we needed to have patience and I am happy that we were able to eventually score to take the win. I have to give credit to the players, we come to win and we kept a clean sheet yet again.\u201d<\/p>\n

The goal scorer Tai Baribo was all smiles following the winner, \u201cEvery striker wants to score a winning goal but the most important thing for us was to win. I will always do my best for the club and I hope that we will remain isn first place for as long as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hapoel Hadera and Hapoel Kfar Saba played to a 1-1 draw<\/strong> with both goals coming on penalties. Odah Marshalls scored his spot kick just ahead of the halftime break however a red card to Dia Lababidi in the 59th minute led to Luwagga Kizito\u2019s penalty as the sides split the points.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe really wanted to win and we took the lead, but out of nowheres we were handed a red card,\u201d lamented Hadera coach Sharon Mimer. \u201cI have to give credit to the players for being able to withstand the Kfar Saba attack as they had a numerical advantage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kfar Saba coach Amir Turgeman also spoke about the draw, \u201c The penalty called against us was questionable, but with an extra man in the second half we really tried to win the game. But we weren\u2019t calm, cool and collected to finish despite creating a few chances.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hapoel Tel Aviv and Maccabi Netanya played to a goalless draw<\/strong> at Bloomfield Stadium.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t score and we had plenty of chances,\u201d said Netanya coach Raymond Atteveld. \u201cAs a coach I am happy that we created chances but we needed to win the game. We had a lot of youngsters who played tough and that is the energy we need as the players are learning day to day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tel Aviv coach Nir Klinger also summed up the clash, \u201cI don\u2019t want to sound like a broken record but we know what the situation is that we are in. We knew that there would be challenges with a very limited budget but we will do the best that we can.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
