In the worst dreams of Slobodan Drapic and Shay Barda, they did not believe that they would open their second term with a single victory in their five games on the lines.
The luck of the two is that the Jerusalem crowd is not on the pitches, otherwise they would have already felt the pressure gauge.
In contrast to the recent games of Betar Jerusalem, which showed good football at times, the game against Maccabi Petah Tikva was a bad game of the black yellows, who played with their heads in the wall, without planning, without creativity, did not create valley situations, have problems in defense and attack, in short , One big headache.
Eliran Atar's quick equalizer after Liel's' great goal, only put the Malabes more into the game.
Muhammad Hindi scored the second, Abda could have gone down to half with a double, but in the end those two goals were enough for Guy Luzon (sent off in red), who again defeated his ex and showed the Jerusalemites that money and names do not play.
Petah Tikva did its thing and the more points it accumulates it will be able to squint towards the top, but to be honest it was not such a good game for it, but simply Betar was much weaker.
