It can be said that Yossi Aboksis' real debut as Betar Jerusalem coach was in a game against Maccabi Petah Tikva, and not in a fanless meeting last week. And it was much more than a league game, but a battle of being or ceasing for both teams, Came out with his hand on the top.
The new coach was warmly received by the fans and even wrapped himself in the team’s scarf throughout the first half.
When several dozen fans began singing in condemnation of Aboksis, thousands of Betar Jerusalem fans silenced them immediately with contemptuous whistles that gave a clear message - what was, belongs to the past.
Only the first half was a direct continuation of the whole season of Betar Jerusalem. The yellow-blacks did move a ball and supposedly controlled the game, but they failed to create any real situation that would endanger Arik Yankoff's goal, and even had difficulty raising simple balls into the extension. In Maccabi Petah Tikva's only attack, she scored a corner kick, at the end of which Nicolasco gave Klinger an advantage.
Aboksis well absorbed what happened in the first half and a few minutes after the start of the second half he sent Tamir Adi and Richmond Boachi to the field.
Each exchange was a huge bingo.
It started with a wonderful goal by Tamir Adi, then Jordan Shua absorbed a completely unnecessary second yellow and was sent off, but a minute later Boachi gave the Jerusalemites the victory and especially some breathing air at the bottom.
