1 The ethos of always striving to be first place, which accompanies Maccabi Tel Aviv, is also firmly rooted in its fans. Anything less than a championship is no less than a failure in them, which is what explains the huge bald spots in the stands of its fans in Netanya.
They do not forgive the draw against Bnei Sakhnin before the break, and that the championship now depends entirely on Maccabi Haifa.
Until its direct encounters, with the champion, Karstic and his players have no chance of losing even one more point until the end of the season.
So, in order not to risk the end of the season as early as the beginning of April, Stepa Fritza started the game on the bench.
Krasteich estimated that Netanya, a team with Bnei Lem who could not see with their eyes, would open in a frenzy to try to conquer, so he preferred to stand strong and well behind.
This calculation worked not bad.
Netanya really opened with high pressure on Daniel Peretz's goal, and embarrassed the guest - but was not really dangerous.
As the minutes passed, Netanya gained confidence that became excessive, abandoning itself to outbursts and Paul devouring the half.
Avi Rikan, who is more of a club employee than a player - and that's a compliment, not something else - kicked properly, subduing Danny Amos.

From that moment on, Netanya's defense faded and suffered three times, which were not approved due to an upside.
Broadcaster Rami Weitz also disappeared for a minute, as he was busy with Netanya's owner, Eyal Segal, who arrived at the post.
Lem's consolation was that Netanya scored 13 of its last 15 goals in the second half, and that happened with a substitution by Sakhovitz for Chan Ezra who brought down Aviv Avraham - and boom, a touchdown!
Top 2 playoff is the most lemonade that Hapoel Tel Aviv can produce. As we saw there this week, there should be no pigs. Vision for a great club.

Duties, penalties and a ban on participation in Europe doom the Reds have a grim future.
A place in a six would always save them from survival struggles.
They and Sakhnin, like you and me.
3 Hapoel Jerusalem and Maccabi Petah Tikva postponed the end in a week. Jerusalem has lost a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to truly escape. If it and Nof Hagalil do not win now, they will not win in the end. Survive thanks to the PZM, and thanks to who they are.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
