Hapoel Umm al-Fahm players were welcomed in the city last night after the crazy 2: 3 victory over Tel Aviv champions Round 8 of the National Cup. On the streets, the Kawawats split sweet and the members of the management promised to slaughter 20 sheep for a lavish meal for the players and fans.
Riff concludes, who conquered the victory gate on the yellows, was flung over his shoulders and looked excited. "We told ourselves we had nothing to lose," the midfielder said, adding: "We won a huge game that will be remembered for many years in Israeli football. There is no such happiness. At the gate I saw that I was free and decided to kick, I'm glad the ball came in. There was a frenzy, the crowd was in the clouds. Difficult to describe in words. "
About the club he plays, Masika said: "It's a team with an amazing crowd. I also played in the Premier League and not many teams have that kind of fans. Fun that we were happy with, and now face the eighth final. Comes to all the people who work here day and night for the team - the chairman Abu Solomon and all the staff. It's a big moment for everyone. "
Pioneer Dov Gabay added: "I have been in football for many years and do not remember such madness. We did the unbelievable, but at one point in the game we felt it was possible. We dreamed that Maccabi TA could be beaten but like that? It's not normal."
Following the big win yesterday, coach Nir Berkowitz is expected to receive a new contract offer for next season as well. Afropo Berkovich, during the festivities and running to the lawn after the final whistle, he probably tore the quadriceps - another bizarre event in itself.
Baum al-Fahm noted that the victory over the Premier League lead, which came after a two-goal backlog, was achieved without three key players missing from the team: defender Ben Young and midfielder Eran Rosenbaum and Oz Raleigh.
