Maccabi and Hapoel played to a 1-1 draw<\/strong> in an exciting Tel Aviv derby that saw end to end action and fantastic saves as the sides split the points. Hapoel drew first blood with an early goal via Osher Davida to give the Reds a 1-0 lead in the 9th minute. <\/p>\n

However, Mohamed Traore was issued a second yellow card after accidentally kicking Maccabi midfielder Gaby Kanichowsky in the face reducing Nir Klinger\u2019s squad to ten men for the final 30 minutes of the contest. With the extra man, Barak itzhaki\u2019s squad found the equalizer as Brandley Kuwas banged home the tying goal off of a deflection from a corner kick in the 75th minute as the game ended in a 1-1 draw<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m satisfied with the result despite the situation,\u201d Hapoel coach Nir Klinger said following the game. \u201cThe early goal we scored played a psychological trick on us as we started to go backwards a bit and let Maccabi attack. But once we had a player sent off we had to put the tactics aside and save the result.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a one-sided match that we controlled before they had a player sent off and after he was sent off but we couldn\u2019t find a winner,\u201d Maccabi interim coach Barak Itzhaki. \u201cHapoel keeper Ernestas Setkus was incredible and deserves a lot of credit. We are not playing well and we have to prepare ourselves from game to game and build up the confidence in the players.” <\/p>\n

Maccabi Haifa blanked Kiryat Shemona 4-0<\/strong> at Sammy Ofer Stadium to move to within 2-points of table leaders Hapoel Beer Sheva. Dean David scored from inclose in the 16th minute to give the Greens a 1-0 lead while Muhamed Abu Fani doubled the advantage 25 minutes later as he put home a nice ball from Omer Atzily to head into the break ahead 2-0. <\/p>\n

Tjaron Chery gave Barak Bachar\u2019s squad a 3-0 lead while Atlizy scored the final goal of the evening in the 90th minute thanks to an assist by youngster Roi Elimelech who was making his debut to run away with the 4-0 win. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe players deserve to celebrate,\u201d Bachar said. \u201cWe are just finishing a very busy period for us that had a lot of pressure. We knew we had to play well and we did just that. This was a very important win for us and we wanted to head into the break with a smile on our faces.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hapoel Jerusalem won this second game in a row thanks to a William Agada brace to down Maccabi Netanya 2-1<\/strong> at Teddy Stadium. Netanya\u2019s Parfait Guiagon sent a 25 meter scorcher into the Jerusalem goal to grab the lead in the 35th minute but Agada scored his first of two goals a minute into the second half to draw the hosts even at 1-1. However, that wasn\u2019t enough for Ziv Arie\u2019s team as Agada headed home a Guy Badash ball to take the victory and the three points.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were prepared tactically for this game but then we made a change because the players weren\u2019t comfortable and we were shredded in the first half,\u201d winning coach Ziv Arie explained after the match. \u201cWe switched things up and scored a quick goal in the second half which gave the players confidence and we held them to minimal chances the rest of the way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was still in the dressing room and all of a sudden it was 1-1,\u201d Netanya coach Benny Lam said. \u201cYou can\u2019t give up this type of goal in the Premier League as it brings down the confidence level while the second goal was a defensive error. I\u2019m very disappointed with our second half. We now have the break to work on things and improve our play.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hapoel Beer Sheva needed a 90th minute goal by Nikita Rukavytsya to rescue a point against a game Ashdod as the sides played to a 1-1 draw<\/strong> at Turner Stadium. Nenad Cvetkovic scored off a corner kick in the 23rd minute to give Ran Ben Shimon\u2019s squad a 1-0 lead, but Rukavytsya saved Roni Levy\u2019s side by putting in a 90th minute strike to snatch a point.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t start the game well and gave up a goal off a set piece,\u201d Levy said following the game. \u201cWe chased after Ashdod all game long who are a quality team that knows how to hold onto the ball extremely well. But when they started to move back a bit we were able to get back into the match as we took chances with attacking players which finally paid off at the end.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no question that all of the ingredients for an away win were here,\u201d Ben Shimon explained. \u201cWe played an excellent defensive game and I am proud of the players. We had three good chances and a win would have really pushed us forward but I understand that things take time.\u201d <\/p>\n

Beitar Jerusalem overwhelmed Maccabi Petah Tikva 3-0<\/strong> as Yarden Shua scored a brace to lead the visitors to the win. The capital city squad stunned the hosts just two minutes into the game as Shua finished off a beautiful team play to take a quick 1-0 lead. Shua then doubled the advantage when Orel Dagani sent the striker on his way with a tremendous through ball to go up 2-0. Marko Jankovic\u2019s attempt went off of Or Blorian and into the back of the goal in the 59th minute to warp up a tidy 3-0 win.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were very effective and the team played well against a club that is very strong,\u201d Beitar coach Erwin Koeman explained. \u201cWe played like a team and there was pressure on us after last game. I am very happy for the players and staff as we all worked hard to get back on track.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cEvery loss is painful and this was a game that we had to chase the entire 90 minutes,\u201d Petah Tikva coach Guy Luzon said. \u201cMy players didn’t give up but we have to keep working and improve. The league is very close and we will have to learn from this and work harder.”<\/p>\n

Hapoel Haifa and Bnei Sakhnin played to an entertaining 2-2 draw<\/strong> as Alon Turgeman scored a pair of goals for the visitors in the Galilee city. Turgeman opened the scoring in the 34th minute as the ball suited through Sakhin keeper Gadi Amos\u2019s legs for the lead but the hosts came right back to draw even at 1-1 thanks to a Guy Melamed strike at the stroke of halftime. Turgeman helped Elisha Levy\u2019s squad to retake the lead in the 49th minute via a header but Sharon Mimer\u2019s side found the equalizer via Mufleh Shalata to split the points. <\/p>\n

\u201cCoaches are never happy when their team doesn\u2019t win,\u201d Levy said following the game. \u201cThe crowd enjoyed the show and we saw two teams that came to play. At every stage of the game both teams were attacking and anyone who enjoys Israeli soccer definitely enjoyed this contest.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt been a long time since we saw a game played at this pace,\u201d Mimer said. \u201cThere were plenty of chances and so much offensive tactics that anyone who hadn\u2019t watched soccer in a while would come running back to the sport. The players deserve a lot of credit for coming back from two deficits and if we continue this way we will reach our goals.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
