Maccabi Haifa defeated Bnei Sakhnin 1: 2 tonight (Saturday) thanks to a tremendous and dramatic goal by Noble Omar right at the start of extra time.
The midfielder finished the game with a double and there is no doubt at all that he was the best player on the field.
Sakhnin came to this game with great confidence after the victory in the opening round over Maccabi Tel Aviv (1: 3) and played the same way on the grass. So far the group from the sector.
Maccabi Haifa got into its situations, but until the 70th minute it could not find the net.
But then came the turning point.
Abdullah Jaber slipped at Dean David's feet in the open and it was difficult to decide whether Pendel reached the Greens or not.
In the end and after a long examination by the VAR judges, Daniel Bar Natan pointed to the penalty spot and the penalty was translated by a noble Omar into the goal of the advantage.
Sakhnin knew she had the tools to come back and she also did so in the 86th minute, after Guy Melamed cooked Raz Stein the long-awaited equalizer.
Second goal of the season for Stein.
But nothing ends as long as you have the noble Omar in the group.
Right with the addition of extra time, the contact scored an amazing goal from the end of the extension straight to Kandil's connections and set up a 1: 2 that gave Barak Bachar the first 3 points of the season, in the most dramatic way possible.
