Zehavi added: "It was a good game. Both teams came to play football, it was a very physical game, we were dominant in the first half and we could increase the score, but Maccabi gave a very big fight. It is not easy to play in this stadium, not many teams scored points here, but in Bloomfield "It will be much harder, with 30,000 fans supporting. If in today's game I had about 30 guests, in Bloomfield I will already fill the 4 and 5 goals."
Zahavi is looking forward to the rematch.
"It's fun to play in Bloomfield, probably in front of the Maccabi crowd, for me it will be a home game, but for the other players it will be something else. A full Bloomfield is a volcano."
