Kayal opened the scoring with a 7th minute penalty as the former English Premier League midfielder slotted home the spot kick after Santiago Ocampos handled the ball in the box. Sakhnin doubled their advantage when Kayal nodded the ball by Itamar Nitzan ahead of the break for a 2-0 lead. Moti Barshatzky added more misery to the yellow-and-black when he finished off a counter attack led by Kayal to give Sharon Mimer\u2019s squad a 3-0 advantage after 60 minutes. The hosts pulled a couple of late goals as Eliran Atar scored from 20 meters out and then assisted on Matheusinho\u2019s marker but it was too little too late for the capital city squad as Sakhnin took the 3-points. <\/p>\n<p>Following the game, Beitar Jerusalem owner Moshe Hogeg was livid at his team\u2019s performance, \u201cHow could the players come and play in such a game? This was a game for the whole season and if they aren\u2019t fit they shouldn\u2019t dress. Those who do play had to give everything that they have; there is nonsuch thing as exhaustion. We didn\u2019t touch the play until Sakhnin scored and we came into such an important game so poorly, why does it have to be this way?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you feel too confident and you come to the game uncommitted with a sense of complacency this is what happens,\u201d said a massively disappointed Beitar associate coach Shay Barda. The way we began they game was a catastrophe. This was an extremely poor showing and the other team wanted it more. Thus can\u2019t happen to a team like Beitar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sakhnin\u2019s coach Sharon Mimer was all smiles after his debut win with the club, \u201cThis was an important win and the players did it after being in poor form and in last place. As for Kayal, he\u2019s not just any other player. I\u2019m happy to have the opportunity to coach someone of his top level professionalism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maccabi Tel Aviv dropped Hapoel Haifa 2-0<\/strong> at Sammy Ofer Stadium by the Carmel mountain to keep pace with table leaders Maccabi Haifa. The yellow-and-blue scored a pair of second half goals while also playing with ten men for the majority of the second half to notch the win. Nick Blackman scored in the 50th minutes thanks to a mine team play by Eylon Almog and Maor Kandil to give Maccabi the lead, but just five minutes later saw defender Shachar Piven sent off with his second yellow card of the game. However, it was the short handed side that scored later on in the half as Dor Peretz headed home the 82nd minute insurance marker off an Eduardo Guerrero assist take the 3-points. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s never boring,\u201d Maccabi bench boss Patrick van Leeuwen said. \u201cWe began the game well and we were the better team. We scored a nice goal but then went down a man which made things more difficult for us. We are always fighting and we scored another goal which is the correct way to finish off a game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Goal scorer Dor Peretz who is rumored to be heading to Europe after this season was happy about the win and the work that his team did against Haifa, \u201cI may have been tired at the end of the game but I will still go out there and give it my all to get another goal. We\u2019re happy with the result. I\u2019m a Maccabi player and that is where my head is at, but we will see as things progress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was an even matchup and it\u2019s disappointing,\u201d Haifa coach Haim Silvas stated. \u201cI felt that we deserved better in this game. The red card gave us an advantage but their second goal killed the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ashdod sunk Hapoel Kfar Saba 2-0<\/strong> on a pair of first half goals by Dean David. The winger opened the scoring in the 17th minute and finished the game off in the 44th when he took a Shlomi Azulay pass and put it behind Itamar Nitzan to take the 3-points and the win for Ran Ben Shimon\u2019s squad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe always want to play positive soccer and now that we are nearing the end of the marathon we have to take yet another step forward and we did that in this win,\u201d an upbeat Ben Shimon said. \u201cWe are a fun team to watch and once we clinch a place in the championship playoffs which we already a foot and a half into, we\u2019ll look even better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The star of the show Dean David reflected on his performance as well as the team\u2019s, \u201cWe have a very good club here and we want to win as many games as possible after a number of tough years. This was a big win and I hope that we will continue winning and playing well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course I am concerned about relegation and that would be very bad if I didn\u2019t,\u201d Kfar Saba coach Elisha Levy said. \u201cWe can\u2019t be desperate as this is a very long battle and no matter how difficult this fight will be we have to do our part and turn it around.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bnei Sakhin defeated Beitar Jerusalem 3-2 as Beran Kayal scored a pair of goals to pace the visitors to the win.
