Maccabi Haifa advanced to the quarterfinals of the State Cup tonight (Wednesday) after beating Maccabi Petah Tikva 1: 2 thanks to a pair of noble Omar in the second half, in front of the home crowd that returned for the first time this season to the stands of Sami Ofer.
"We also played well in the first half and missed situations one hundred percent," concluded coach
Barak Bachar
. "The second half was one of our best, we did things right, we played our game and we were dangerous.
This victory is justified and I have fun for the players.
Everyone has seen Omar in recent games come back to himself and get sharpness.
He and Neta Lavi came in and helped change the game.
It was important for him to score after the cooking, I hope he will continue with that "
Bachar added: "I spoke with Guy Luzon before the game and we said that if necessary we will put in all the offensive tools to avoid extra time ahead of the league round. Every win gives good momentum, especially against an excellent team and in one of our best games."
Dolev Haziza
also spoke at the end of the game: "It was important for us to win and most importantly the result. We fell behind halfway through the situation they came in. It was important to correct the mistake from the first half, I am very happy we did it. A team like Maccabi Haifa has to win all the time. We always showed tremendous ability in the second half and I am glad we won. It was important for us to beat this team that we lost to ten days ago. We have an excellent staff, I also want to congratulate Rami Gershon who played well, everyone who came up and played helped win. Championship or trophy? and also".
Losing coach Guy Luzon concluded: "The better team won. Haifa was better, especially in the second half. Unlike the game ten days ago, this time we did not move a ball and did not get into situations. We ran after the ball and lost it fast. Our bad game, they won Right. Congratulations to them and that's all. They were upset that I said about the 0: 5 in the league? That's the truth, whoever gets angry from the truth is his problem. We could have done 0: 2 but it was not enough and we did not, they rightly went up. In the league there is another round "And our job is to ensure the top playoff. At this stage with a game every three days you divide the forces, players are not machines."
