Before the game was 5 minutes old, Atzlily had already bagged a brace, scoring first from a Dia Saba cross and then added his second by heading in a Pierre Cornud ball for a 2-0 lead. Atzliy then played a give and go with Tjaron Chery who scored in the 56th minute while Liran Sardel finally got on the board a quarter hour later to break up the clean sheet. <\/p>\n<p>However, the Greens didn\u2019t was it long to bump the advantage back up to three goals when Saba once again played facilitator for Atzily as the winger scored his third marker of the game to take the victory. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was happy that we were able to play such attacking football especially after we were eliminated from the State Cup,\u201d Maccabi coach Barak Bachar said. \u201cWe played very offensive minded football and I knew everyone would do their job. Even though we will win the regular season that means nothing as we have to be the champions in May.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur goal at the start was to make it to the Championship Playoffs,\u201d Hapoel bench boss Roni Levy began. \u201cBut the situation was that we would need to battle to make sure we wouldn\u2019t be relegated. Perhaps I came into this job a too late and the squad wasn\u2019t built well enough. I arrived after the club had won one game in ten and the dream of making it to the playoffs was just to difficult to accomplish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Omer Atzily spoke about the win, \u201cThis was really important after Hapoel Beer Sheva had own their game. It was crucial for us to come into this game and win in order to head into the Championship Playoffs in first place. It wasn\u2019t an easy game and while it may have looked that way, we pressed like crazy and we scored on the first couple of opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the Haifa Derby, Maccabi downed Hapoel 4-1 as Omer Atzily broke out of a slump in a big way with a hat-trick in the win.
