Maccabi Haifa suffered a painful loss tonight (Saturday) when they were defeated 3-0 by the excellent Maccabi Netanya.

It is doubtful that this loss will prevent the Greens from winning the championship at the end of the season, but Barak Bachar's team showed worrying signs, after conceding only two goals in its last ten games, while today it was three in 90 minutes.

Twamasi took advantage of a mistake by Alphonse (21), Zlatanovich celebrated a double (45 and 61) and gave Netanya an impressive victory.

Simultaneously with the loss, Maccabi Haifa claims that Eden Kartzev cursed coach Barak Bachar "Ben * Vana" in a confrontation between them.

Maccabi Netanya coach Bnei Lem sent Kartzev to apologize to Bachar, but the Greens coach did not seem satisfied.

"This is the disgraceful behavior of a football player," they said in Haifa.

In addition, Sean Goldberg, who received a yellow card, will not be able to play the game at Turner against Hapoel Beer Sheva.

Maccabi Netanya coach

: "A huge game, Maccabi Haifa did not reach any situation today. There was one Maccabi Netanya game, wow, wow. I told the players that whoever does not believe, will say and will not play. Also against Maccabi Haifa was 1: 1 the previous time. The players were aware of the failure against Hapoel Tel Aviv, we came ready and we deserved to win after an excellent game. Barak Bachar told me that we have an excellent team and we deserve to win. "Good in Israel. I already announce that it will not be easy for Be'er Sheva here either. I ask the Netanya crowd for a yellow bow here."

The losing coach

: "Our worst game this season. It ended only 3: 0. Netanya was aggressive and pressed, we talked about it and could not deal with them. We did not reach this game unfortunately. We knew we could take a significant step to the goal, but we did not reach today. It could happen. The audience deserves all the respect that encouraged us even after such a shameful display. I felt we came ready, but things happen in the game. Netanya was better. The championship fight is not over, no one said it was over. We gave motivation to our opponent, everything is open. We will have to collect the "Ourselves, there are guys here who are mature enough, understand interest. We will recover and move on. We know how to lift ourselves in less good times and in crises. It is allowed to lose, it is a pity that it happened that way. We should have absorbed much more."

On the incident with Kartzev: "He said something he should not have said, he apologized and it was over."

Annoyed Bachar.

Eden Kartzev

: "I want to apologize to Barak, there was a misunderstanding. I did not come to him but to the audience. I apologized at the end, if it seems like something unusual then I apologize here as well. We put the game against Hapoel aside, we treated this game as our last "This season. My son gave us a lot of motivation, everyone gave more than 100 percent. I get all the confidence here and am happy that I am helping the team. I want to end this season healthy and hope they see a lot more of me."

"Sucks. We did not look good and we lost. We have to raise our heads, we are after a week of three games in which we looked good, besides. We will have to forget as soon as possible and prepare for the next game. Netanya was aggressive and we were not at our best. "To our detriment today, we absorbed goals that were too easy. The yellow was not in the planning, unfortunately I will miss Be'er Sheva, but we have a great team and everyone who plays will do the job for the best."

The champion wanted to widen the gap at the top to 10 points after qualifying for the cup final on Tuesday, but was completely eliminated against the enthusiastic host who recorded her first home win over the Greens after a decade and first of the season in the top playoffs.

This is also Netanya's highest victory over Maccabi Haifa since the 0: 3 in December 1991.

The champion has only conceded twice in its last 10 games (league and cup) and this time took three balls out of the net within 40 minutes.

This is the first trio they have suffered since November 2020 (3: 2 to Hapoel Kfar Saba) and their highest defeat in the league since the 3-0 derby in March 2018. Will you know how to recover in the next round against Hapoel Tel Aviv?
