The team of confusion, as usual this season, looked excellent on offense and scored a threesome in Sami Ofer.

Maccabi Haifa inflated a balloon. Victory, and another, then again, and again. She had four of them in a row, until she lowered the air herself. He has not exploded yet, because the first round is not over yet, but the result of a home draw against MS Ashdod is a puncher.

It was a game that felt like the teams were playing in the swing. Once up and once the opponent. Ashdod was the first to lead, Haifa became 1: 2, and then Ashdod pushed up and did the unbelievable.

It was a moment when every green fan in the stands felt a kind of flashback. Such 8 years that groups come to Haifa and leave with points after attacking single times. So this season's Haifa has a lot more character, and Bronze Oreys conquered plus time and saved her with a crazy 3: 3. Eventually, the team from Carmel lost two points, and now, after the Maccabi Tel Aviv victory, the gap has grown to 5 points.

Needless to say, Maccabi Haifa did not lose this game, it controlled it unquestionably. Ashdod arrived to leave Ofer in peace. Moshe Ohayon, standing on the lines, did not imagine that the point would arrive, certainly not in such a way. It's a game that brings some respect to the league where coaches live in peace with 0: 0. This is not comforting to Marco, nor is the fact that in the next round he goes outside to face Hapoel.
