Maccabi Tel Aviv had to sweat endlessly today (Thursday), but in the end they achieved a very expensive 0: 2 away against Hapoel Haifa, as part of the 23rd round of the Premier League.

Patrick Van Leven made many changes in the lineup and started without foreigners, Shahar Phiben was sent off in the 55th minute, but a goal by Nick Blackman (49) and a goal by the great Dor Peretz (82) arranged such an important victory for the Yellows that narrowed the gap to two points.

Patrick Van Leven

said after the game: "We started the game very well, we showed that we are the better team. It took us a while, but we got our goal in an unusual way. After that we needed more fighting than in previous weeks. All the players here There were champions last season, no one makes the debut here and it does not matter who plays. It's not an extraordinary rotation. There are good players and I use them all. Everyone can see that we fight from the first minute to the last, and this time we did it in the 10th "Players. Tomorrow we can rest a bit and then we will have two days to prepare for the next game. No one is injured and we will get a good squad for Monday. We take it game after game."

added: "I don't know how to compare the disappointment with a 4: 3 loss tonight. There it was maximum and also today. Efficiency, that's all the difference. They scored their goal very quickly in the opening of the second half, we backed off, but everything was close. There are days like this it goes with the other team, I do not know how to explain it.When you lose you always feel deprived.I can not know from here because I did not see the events on TV.I felt we deserved more in this game, do not know whether in the refereeing decisions or at all. "The second goal killed the game, it was a goal we scored for ourselves. Today we got a lesson effectively."
