Maccabi Tel Aviv dominated Maccabi Haifa 3-0<\/strong> to take the knockout win and 3-points as Eran Zahavi scored a second half brace to lead the hosts to the emotional victory. With the win, Aitor Karaoke\u2019s squad cut the Green\u2019s lead atop the table to 5 points as Maccabi continued to close in on first place.

\nIn what was most probably starlet Oscar Glouch\u2019s last game for the yellow-and-blue, the attacking midfielder didn\u2019t disappoint as he delivered an assist on Parfait Guiagon\u2019s goal at the end of the first half to the delight of not only the home fans but also Red Bull Salzburg Sports Director Christoph Freund who was in attendance.

\nEran Zahavi then doubled the advantage when he blasted a Djorde Jovanovic ball into the top right hand corner of the goal in the 63rd minute for a 2-0 lead. As things began to heat up on the pitch, Muhammed Abu Fani was issued a red card after a reckless foul on Dan Glazer and that was immediately followed up by the referee handing a red card as well to Greens head coach Barak Bachar.

\nGlouch was then substituted off to a standing ovation as the youngster is slated to move to Salzburg over the up coming days. However, Maccabi wasn\u2019t finished off yet as Zahavi blasted in yet another goal, this time into the top left hand corner of the goal to polish off the 3-0 knockout win for the yellow-and-blue.

\n\u201cI am really pleased for the players and the crowd,\u201d Aitor Karanka said. \u201cThis win is for both of them. The way we played and the atmosphere on the bench has been amazing and to see our crowd is amazing. We had a very good game but if we don\u2019t win on Saturday then this win means nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are games like this and Maccabi was fighting for their lives,\u201d a disappointed Barak Bachar began. \u201cWe prepared for this and we spoke about the it, but we did not play well at all. This is the game of soccer and we really are dominated. Maybe this type of loss will do something for us and the fact that the gap has been cut that will be a positive for us.\u201d

\nThe man of the match Eran Zahavi reflected on the win, \u201cI would give the team a rating of 10 and me maybe I\u2019d give a 7-8 for this game. This was our best game of the season and for me every game I try and give back to the team and do my best. But as a team we did whatever the coach asked us. This is Maccabi Tel Aviv and this is how we need to look.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
