A defensive foursome of Eli Dasa, Eitan Tibi, Carlos Garcia and Yuval Shpungin played just behind a midfield of Gal Alberman, Dor Peretz and Nosa Igiebor. Captain Eran Zahavi, Tal Ben Chaim and Dor Micha provided the visitors attack at Teddy Stadium. <\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6207\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_1530.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6207\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6207\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_1530-620x264.jpg\" alt=\"Dov Halickman Photography\" width=\"620\" height=\"264\" class=\"size-content wp-image-6207\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6207\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dov Halickman Photography<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Beitar Jerusalem had the first chance of the match in the 8th minute when Omer Atzili went in all alone on Rajikovic, but the Serbian keeper made the kick save with his right foot to keep the game goalless. Nikita Rukavytsya was up next for Beitar as his 16th minute onside effort just went wide left of the goal. Maccabi&#8217;s opening opportunity came in the 19th minute when Ben Chaim came in on the left side and sent a curling shot right into the hands of Beitar keeper Boris Kleiman.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6208\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_1533.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6208\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6208\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/IMG_1533-620x264.jpg\" alt=\"Dov Halickman Photography\" width=\"620\" height=\"264\" class=\"size-content wp-image-6208\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6208\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dov Halickman Photography<\/p><\/div>\n<p>However, the next chance Maccabi had found its way behind Kleiman.
