Ofri Arad arranged tonight (Saturday) for Maccabi Petah Tikva Pendel in the 96th minute and a chance to take a point leading the table Maccabi Haifa, but Josh Cohen top and gave Barak Bachar a fifth consecutive victory and a 6-point gap at the top after a super dramatic 1: 2 in the colony .
At the end, Barak Bachar tried to lower his blood pressure, concluding a great 90 minutes in the colony: "I think it is still a long way to go to talk about a championship. We need to recover from what happened here. We also need Maccabi Petah Tikva. As usual we missed Pendel, in the second half we were excellent and their goalkeeper caught a day. "We should also praise him. We will do justice to the fact that we stopped the penalty at the end. Yankele said that we should conquer more, but he is also satisfied with what was here tonight."
On the hero of the evening, Josh Cohen: "Josh made a great game against Hapoel Tel Aviv, and today he provided a great save and did justice.
We were in complete control in the second half, even if we absorbed the goal in the end, I would be proud of the players and encourage them. "
"We have enough quality on offense but I can not be angry at players who miss (Abu Fani who missed Pendel). In the end there are three kickers listed and they decide between them. Reached Abu Fani so much and I hope he will already win in the next game."
Maccabi Petah Tikva coach Guy Luzon concluded: "In the first half there was European football, in my opinion the best in the Premier League this season. In the second half they were better than us. They pressed us to our 16 and we could not control the pace of the game. My substitutions did not take us out of defense. "In the extra time, we could have come out with a point, but he did not come out and we will move forward."
"I do not give myself scores, we are re-examined every week. I enjoy here very much and think we have come a long way from a team that was relegated a year and a half ago to what we are now. All staff have been replaced except for cells in Ribo. We look good except for the results. .
