It was the kind of games that illustrated how streaky Hapoel Haifa's season is, but also highlighted the reason why the Reds will be in the lower playoffs this season.
A soft defense that will almost always make you forget that this team has a great front.
After 15 minutes, Ashdod already led 2-0 with goals from Bayou and Dean David.
Ran Ben Shimon's team will be in the top playoffs, and rightly so, but at this level, they will have to get to a full game and not disappear after thinking the story is over.
Capiloto (58) and Itai Boganim (90) tried to leave a justified point in Sami Ofer in front of close to 1,000 fans who at least received value for the ticket they purchased.
Ashdod took an easy 4-0 game in their favor, and as soon as they could send their opponent into the abyss, gave them a hand and helped them get back into the game.
Moreover, if it were not for Yoav Jaffy, this game would have ended in a victory for Hapoel Haifa.
