The penalty call was definitely questionable as Taleb Tawatha committed a foul that was not clearly in the box. The back line referee did not opine as the main referee Orel Greenfield blew the whistle and pointed to the spot. Amasha, playing his first game against the team that did not dress him once during the first half of the season was able to score to not only give his team the valuable 3points but also show the Greens why they should have played him. Haifa goalkeeper Amir Edri was substituted a few minutes after the goal as he dove and made a hard challenge way outside of the box as the referee did not call a clear handball in the Kiryat Shemona box.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maccabi Tel Aviv 0-0 Hapoel Tel Aviv A draw.
