Five days after the big victory over Hapoel BS in the game of the season, Maccabi Haifa ended tonight (Saturday) in a surprising 1: 1 draw with Hapoel Jerusalem. Only from the summit.
Haifa stopper Bogdan Planic may face disciplinary action following his outburst against referee Niv Steif.
With the final whistle, the Serb came towards Steiff and slammed things at him.
The team manager, Gil Ofek and the other players who were there, tried to keep Planich away, but found it difficult to calm him down.
Steif will state the things in the refereeing report and as a result, the association's prosecutor, Adv. Nir Reshef, will have to prosecute the actor.
Maccabi Haifa coach Barak Bachar said after the game: "We expected things to work out on their own and they did not work out. You could say we stole a point at home. We were not complacent, the opponent pressed properly and created situations. We could not find solutions and do things as we know, when it happens - it "Too much. This is our weakest game this season. We had to lose, the opponent was better and was first to every ball. There is no section of complacency here, the opponent was better, it could happen."
On the behavior of the players: "It is a pity that things did not connect us today, because we were in great momentum. From the beginning of the season we are crowned champions, we have no control over what they say. We will not paint everything black now, as we did not go blind after the victories. "

Maccabi Haifa midfielder Neta Lavi: "It bothers us a lot that the streak has stopped and we are disappointed, but the league is long and we will get back to business very soon. Our players have a lot of passion for the game, they are very hungry for success. "I'm slowly getting back to business after half a year of being out, I feel good."
Hapoel Jerusalem midfielder Ruslan Bersky: "We knew that if we shut down from behind we would absorb, Maccabi Haifa are deadly in attack. We went for the whole box office from the first minute and I am glad it worked for us, we said we would take advantage of their lack of focus "I knew I was going to play this role all season, we need to score points that way."
Jerusalem coach Ziv Arieh: "We do not deal with noise, we have been going through a lot of things since the beginning of the season. We lost points last week because of nonsense, and even today we lost points for nonsense. If we had another 5-6 points we could enjoy this game, But we can not afford to lose points. Even last week we had a stressful March and it did not work out for us. Our game plans are always brave, in our situation we have to bring points. We did not cancel against Maccabi Tel Aviv either, they are a better team. We do not cancel even "Once. Things don't always turn out the way we want."
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
