Not only was the match the final one of the season but it also marked the finale for both outgoing captain Sheran Yeini and coach Pako Ayestaran.<\/p>\n<p>The Yellow-and-Blue controlled most of the game trying in vain to help superstar Eran Zahavi pad his league leading goal total of 27, but it just wasn&#8217;t meant to be. Zahavi hit the right post on a two on one break in the first half and had a goal disallowed on a questionable off side call in the second frame. The Petach Tikva goals were scored by Gidi Kanuk in the 19th minute and Liran Rotman in the 90th.<\/p>\n<p>Captain Sheran Yeini was honored prior to the match as technical director Jordi Cryuff presented him with a framed jersey and a video presentation was made with him surrounded by his teammates. Zahavi was presented with the Ligat Ha&#8217;Al Player of the Year award and was saluted by the more than 11,000 fans on hand.<\/p>\n<p>Coach Pako Ayestaran announced at a pre-match press conference that he would not be continuing with the club as both CEO Martin Bain and Cryuff thanked him for a wonderful year which included winning a domestic treble, the League title, the State cup and Toto cup.<\/p>\n<p>Following the game the players and supporters celebrated the record breaking campaign and will begin preparations for European competition in the coming days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maccabi Tel Aviv 0-2 Maccabi Petach Tikva Maccabi Tel Aviv pulled the curtain down on a most successful 2014-15 season on a bittersweet note losing to Maccabi Petach Tikva 2-0 at Bloomfield Stadium Monday night.
