Summary: Maccabi Tel Aviv - Maccabi Haifa 1: 1 (Sport 1)
1.
Maccabi Haifa does not usually celebrate after a draw, but last night's (Monday) celebrations after the 1: 1 with Maccabi Tel Aviv were like after a victory, maybe even like championship celebrations.
In a very lukewarm game, the Greens managed to get a valuable point in extra time and left the status quo at the top, with an advantage of 7 points over Hapoel Beer Sheva and 10 over Maccabi Tel Aviv.
"Obviously we want to win every game, but with how the game developed, an equalizer at that minute made it very sweet," said one of the players.
At the end, thousands of Haifa fans also celebrated with torches and smoke grenades in the streets near Bloomfield Stadium.
Even before the opening whistle, the pyrotechnics show has already begun and was even mentioned in the judgment report, which will most likely lead to a prosecution.
Not many players received compliments last night for their ability, but everyone was praised for their determination and for not losing hope and never stopping to try to get back into the game at any stage.
The one who won compliments above all was of course Charon Cherry, who conquered the gate of equality and was the focus of the celebrations.
"Cherry has proven once again that he is a player who can finish a game in one go," said one of his teammates.
"It's true that there was no big game for him either, but this is his big one. In Money Time he always shows up and gives the goal or the cooking that is expected of him."
Even before the game, Sheri approached the young player of Maccabi Tel Aviv, Oscar Gluch, and encouraged him.
In the end, it became clear that the two became the heroes of the game, after the 18-year-old midfielder scored the goal for the Yellows.
"Cherry scored a goal with the scent of a championship," admitted the club, recalling: "But we have not yet completed the task."

The Greens' day was especially emotional.
Early in the morning, the club was informed of the death of Barak Bachar's brother.
The one who got the reins was a French guy and before the game the coach called his assistant to brief him professionally.
In Haifa, they complimented the assistant coach who knew how to pick up the players in a difficult situation.
The Frenchman recently received several offers, including from Hapoel Hadera, but refused them all.
At this point the Frenchman does not yet have a contract for next season, but it is estimated that he will soon sign a new contract.
Last night, the Frenchman himself also addressed the issue.
"I feel like a coach for everything. Barak knows how to manage the team in a phenomenal way. If not he probably would have already chosen to coach in another team, but this club has a lot to give me and I have a lot to give him. We want to move together to new places, so At the moment, I am focused on only one direction. "
Answered the challenge.

If after
the victory over Hapoel Beer Sheva it was captain Neta Lavie who did not come to the celebrations on the lawn, last night it was the turn of Noble Omar, who was very disappointed with both his own ability and his substitution.
In addition, in Haifa they noted that Noble was also upset by the curses of Maccabi Tel Aviv fans towards him.
If that was not enough, even the noble half looked nervous and frustrated, and there was even a loud confrontation between him and Muhammad Abu Fani.
The two straightened things out at the end, and in Haifa they backed the noble who has been in less good shape lately.
"No one needs to explain how important and critical noble this season is," the club said, "everyone is behind him and it is clear to us that it is only a matter of time until we see him conquer and celebrate again."
One who has not lived up to expectations so far is Mikael Alphonse, who could lose his place in the squad if he does not raise the level in the coming rounds.
In the next game against Bnei Sakhnin, the Greens will miss Dolev Haziza and Jose Rodriguez due to yellows, and Avis Chibuta and San Menachem will join the team.
Another disappointed player is Maor Levy, who remains out of the roster for the second game in a row.
Levy has contributed quite a bit as a substitute this season, but in the last two games it has been decided to sift through it in a surprising way.
Levy, who is highly valued by the players and members of the club, was present on the pitch last night and celebrated with the players at the end.
In the game against Sakhnin, Levy will return to the squad, hoping to get back minutes.
Haifa is confident: he will soon return to conquer, and celebrate.

and was also an unpleasant part of last night's game.
The contact Muhammad Abu Fani was very upset by racist chants made towards him by Maccabi Tel Aviv fans towards him.
In Haifa, they were furious at the end of the calls and claimed that it was impossible for thousands to despise and humiliate an actor on a racial background.
"Such cries must not be heard. It deserves all condemnation, not just Abu Fani was upset at the end," the club said.
