In tonight's battle (Saturday), among the big surprises of the first round, one came out with a knockout victory - Maccabi Petah Tikva, which defeated Hapoel Kfar Saba 0: 2. Generally, at least the extended Luzon family will welcome the new year with a big smile.
And what about the garlic family?
A little less happy.
Captain Omar Padida did celebrate the birth of his eldest daughter last week, but on the green grass of Amir Nussbaum, the colony looked like a team that encountered an impenetrable wall.
And this is only the newcomer from the national league, not Bayern Munich on the eve of the Champions League semi-final.
The first goal came after a silly touch on the hand by the brakeman Sudik Atanda who pulled a penalty that Guy Hadida took advantage of to a 0: 1 advantage (15).
In the 63rd minute Guy Luzon proved that he knows how to use his bench players accurately as well, after Thai Baribo who came in four minutes earlier scored with his first touch from a Muhammad Handy shot.
