No forces. After the victory of Maccabi Tel Aviv in the first game of the Champions League, it was clear to everyone that Hapoel Beer Sheva has no chance of winning the first title of the season, certainly without Joshua, Vitor and Accultasa. Indeed, the champion had no difficulty at all and defeated Yossi Aboksis' team.
In large parts of the first half it felt as if one of Europe's football lions was playing against BS. Yorgos Donis' team, who were watching the game from home, put tremendous pressure almost inside the opponent's 16th pitch, moving the ball fantastically and barely letting their opponent touch Jonathan Cohen's mighty goulash off the field and Ayalon Almog's wonderful goal were the hallmark of the big differences and the net did not move once again just because BSG managed to keep the ball away from the line.
BS will not look like this during the season, Aboksis will not let that happen, but it seems that it will not be able to tickle Maccabi Tel Aviv this year, after releasing so many of its stars. In the second half Maccabi did not score but still did whatever it pleased on the field and missed. From good conditions.
Tal Ben Haim is making his new debut in the yellow uniform and if he gets in shape very quickly it is a super critical weapon for the champion, who also lifted the first title of the season and thus also secured her place in the Toto Cup final. But with all due respect to the Israeli Super Cup for the Toto Cup, the real task of Maccabi Tel Aviv will be next week in the Champions League qualifiers against Riga.
