Hapoel Tel Aviv's Nir Klinger, who for the first time this season (Saturday) stood on the lines after a long suspension, put together a second victory in a row, when they defeated Hapoel Hadera 0: 3. The Reds, who clung to the top with goals from Doron Leidner (48), Farley Rosa (61) and Osher Davida (77), arranged a first loss for Menachem Koretzky's trainees.
At the end of the game, Klinger said: "I think we prepared well, we knew how Hadera would play and how hard it was against it. We started well and then there was a problem moving the ball. In the half we saw in the video what needs to be done and fixed it.

On the other hand, Menachem Koretzky did not try to justify: "In the first half it looked good and we got into situations, but in the second half we did not show up. There was a system crash that needed to be analyzed. "We wanted to postpone the loss as much as possible."
