Maccabi Haifa holds the Toto Cup.
The Greens defeated Hapoel Beer Sheva 6: 7 on penalties tonight (Wednesday), after 1: 1 at the end of 90 minutes and won the second title of the season.
On the green side were Noble Omar, Dolev Haziza, Dean David and Ali Muhammad, and on the red side were Dor Micha, Nikita Rokavica, Roi Gordana and Miguel Vitor.
Just one fact: all of these opened on the bench.

On the one hand, this great list indicates what long and impressive rosters these two teams have this season.
On the other hand, a thought by both coaches about the league round on Saturday.
The Toto Cup is not the brightest in the titles, it is the maximum conference league of Israeli football, but a title on the table, money, and as time went on, Barak Bachar and Roni Levy also wanted the trophy in the closet and the glittering list was thrown from the bench to the grass.

It was a relatively good game for the factory.
Haifa and Beer Sheva are quality, teams that can easily find themselves facing each other in the fight for the championship this season (not to forget Maccabi Tel Aviv).
The first half was better for Haifa, but one without a striker.
Goodsway Donio was on the grass, but not just the synonym for that position is "spitz."
Donio is not as sharp as Spitz, he does not have the sharpness to shatter defenses, certainly not in the face of Hatem Alhamid and Iyad Abu Abid.
Apropo Spitz, where exactly the ball hit Mariano Briero in the 45th minute.
It happened against the logic of the game up to that moment.

As mentioned, Barak Bachar hurried to throw all the beautiful goods on the stand and his team looked different.
It was a matter of time and mostly luck until equality, until Dean David did justice and conquered.
If there is a good decision that has been made, it is to cancel the overtime and the direct penalties.
After a tense duel, Raz Meir actually won the decisive penalty.
The least shiny on the grass, the most Toto Cup that was on the field, but how much it deserved.
Dor Micha wept over his miss, but he will still do a lot of beautiful things in the league, and there is a lot to expect from Hapoel B'Shlosha, also from Maccabi Haifa.
