Summary: Maccabi Haifa - Hapoel Jerusalem 1: 1 (Sport 1)
After ten consecutive victories with exciting football and impressive mental strengths, Maccabi Haifa was stopped last night (Saturday) with a 1-1 home draw with Hapoel Jerusalem, mostly calm with nerves and disappointment. The balance of power between the teams was clear, but the champion looked tense and had a hard time developing her football. At the end, the team's players agreed with Barak Bachar, who did not spare criticism of his players in a television interview.
"It was definitely our worst game of the season," admitted one of the players on the team. The team admitted that there was hardly a single player who could be mentioned favorably in yesterday's game, when apart from Bogdan Planic and Charon Cherry who played a reasonable game, the rest of the players were below their normal level.
Despite the draw, the professional team will ask the players to take yesterday's game in the right proportions.
"We must not get into black bile. It is impossible to win all the games. It was a weak day for everyone. We must forget about this game and move on," the club said.

It's the truth
Haifa in particular did not like to see the nerves of the unnecessary and yellow players about talking to the referees.
Muhammad Abu Fani absorbed a red after the first yellow card that was pulled towards him was for unnecessary talk with the referee, and Noble Omar also picked up a yellow for talk.
"Obviously there are emotions in football, but we must not be dragged into it," said a player on the team, "It has happened to us already in a few games this season and it must not happen again. When we are focused only on football, we are the best.
Already in the 17th minute Planich and Haziza argued passionately with referee Niv Steif, and were saved from a yellow card only after Charon Sherry volunteered to calm the spirits.
Afterwards, Shari also went to the ball carrier and tried to calm him down, which angered the Hapoel Jerusalem staff.
"We were stressed from the start," a player on the team admitted, "it shouldn't have happened, but we should have moved on."
Will he receive a severe sentence in court?

If the red card for Abu Fani is not enough, Maccabi Haifa knows that Bogdan Planich may also be punished.
The Serbian stopper will be prosecuted by the Football Association and may receive a suspension, after erupting at the referee at the end and players prevented him from physically threatening him.
The reason for the Serbian stopper's anger was the referee's disregard for a blow he suffered in the second half, after which he remained sprawled motionless on the lawn.
Planich even complained about the Jerusalemites' waste of time.
The judge will indicate in the sentencing report the incident and according to sources, will write that it was a sharp and blatant outburst, which could lead to a severe sentence in court.
In addition to those removed, the team will also examine Charon Cherry who felt pain and asked for a replacement.
The Dutchman will be tested today and Haifa hopes that this is not an injury that will make the Dutchman miss games.
The one who sat on the bench last night but was unfit is Jose Rodriguez.
The Spaniard returned to training and it seemed that he could start, but in the end after the warm-up it was decided not to endanger him and in Haifa it is estimated that the Spaniard will be fit to play against Maccabi Netanya.
