Tal Ben Haim had a ton of chances while scoring one and the squad was a solid unit on the pitch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Bad<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The fact that Maccabi only won 2-1 is disturbing since they could have piled on the goals and won 5 or 6. Especially when the 2nd tally came late in the game as Gyori looked beat. Those missed chances will not cut it as the club goes deeper in the qualifying rounds and as the teams get better and won&#8217;t give them as many chnaces as they had tomoght. A fit Prica will be crucial moving on to the next matches and Maccabi will have to seriously look at upgrading with an additional striker and defender.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Ugly<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not much on this evening other tha the lackluster play near the end of the game.
