One of the nightmares of Israeli football and mine privately is that these formative battles between Betar and Hapoel Tel Aviv, the soul of Israeli football, will slowly replace the Hefer Valley derby between Hapoel Hadera and Maccabi Netanya.

But we are not thinking about the long term at the moment, but about the here and now, and after eternity of time, both teams are once again generating momentum. Ronnie Levy returned to Teddy yesterday with Marco's scalp bouncing on his belt, and there is no better opponent than the verb to fuel the cravings and sense of urgency to strike again and move into second place. On the other hand, acting like the Sea of ​​Galilee - is finally not fighting the bottom line, but the line leading to the top playoffs.

The quality discrepancies were clear in advance, but already after 10 seconds, Ali Muhammad went out of his bad deal with Omar Damari, who was sent to the turbulent water and successfully survived, suggesting a lame Betar opening. Klinger, who was ready to close on a draw, received a gift After 9 minutes, when Vardasuke lifted a foot on Abu Abid and grabbed a pendulum, Altman dropped a golden egg that was born prematurely.

Rapid arrears negatively impacted Betar, which did not find solutions to overcrowding. The prime minister's entry also did not calm the silent game, which in the 30th minute became almost catastrophic after a fantastic move by Omar Damari. He made Spirovsky 0: 2 light, but the Macedonian Burned a once in a lifetime opportunity, maybe twice in life.

Now I just imagine what went on in Hapoel's dressing room on a break. Klinger must have scratched the bristles of his life, lay down on the floor, pulled up his pants belt loops and implored his players to be him in the second half. Because if they leave safely - they will come to the Abu Ali derby altogether, on the first sixth.

And that's what really happened. Because in Israeli football, fame has an expiration date of one week. Betar forgot what she did to Haifa a week ago, and Hapoel forgot what Haifa did to her two weeks ago - and returned to the quintet. She had to survive in front of two powers. Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Hadera.
