Tal Ben Chaim shredded the Greens defense time after time as Dor Micha seemed to be able to pass the ball at will to his teammates. But of course it would be the captain Eran Zahavi who would play hero scoring the club\u2019s first goal while Ben Chaim collected the second. Yossi Benayoun gave Haifa hope with his 70th minute strike but Maccabi held on for the final minutes of heart palpitating football to take the 3-points and stay within one of Hapoel Beer Sheva at the top of the table.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6032\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/12552703_954312667996127_2845415210520572315_n.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6032\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6032\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/12552703_954312667996127_2845415210520572315_n-620x264.jpg\" alt=\"Dov Halickman Photography\" width=\"620\" height=\"264\" class=\"size-content wp-image-6032\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6032\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dov Halickman Photography<\/p><\/div>\n<p>New Head Coach Peter Bosz featured a lineup of Captain Eran Zahavi up front wth Tal Ben Chaim and Dor Micha by his sides.

Six minutes later, Ben Chaim also had a nice chance but the Haifa shot stopper made the save yet again.
