deja vu.
Remember Maccabi Tel Aviv's game last week against Spartak Tarnava? There were three crosses and big misses by the Yellows. Last week, Patrick Van Leven's team met the Slovaks again and again stuck three balls to the crossbar, missed, but tonight (Thursday) managed to score A single goal by Sharan Yeni, who is worth a place in the Conference League playoffs.
Tarnava is a weak team.
Even a very weak group, which in Israel would have fought at the bottom.
The gaps between the teams are 4-5 goals in each game in favor of the Yellows.
But in Bloomfield, in front of the home crowd, Maccabi played less well, especially in the first half, compared to its dominant performance in Slovakia.

In the bad minutes of Maccabi the Slovaks got into one big situation, which could have changed the game completely, but Daniel Peretz provided a great save.
The young goalkeeper provided another good game, showed that he can definitely be trusted, and especially that Maccabi has a great goalkeeper, who is going to be the team's future goalkeeper.
Beyond the burst, Tal Ben Haim's performance was simply a pleasure.
Two defensive players were attached to the attacking player but they were unable to keep him, and if he had had a little more luck he would have finished this game at least with a goal and cooking.
When Patrick Van Leven decided to replace him the fans reacted with harsh contempt whistles towards the coach.
In the bottom line, Maccabi did its thing and went through a stage, the ability was not in the sky, but in a knockout it does not matter.
Next week the Yellows will meet Shakhtar Kargandi.
