Summary: Hapoel Nof Hagalil - Hapoel Hadera 2: 0 (Sport1)
Hapoel Nof Hagalil complicated itself in a very serious way, after losing 2: 0 last night (Saturday) at home to Hapoel Hadera and sinking back to last place in the table, with only two games left until the end of the season.
In the Galilee landscape, they hoped to generate positive momentum after the victory over Maccabi Petah Tikva in the last round, but last night, despite coach Shai Barda warning about this in advance, the team collapsed, against an opponent who finished the season about two months ago.
Nothing worked last night for the Northerners who are very close to returning to the National League at the end of just one season in the Premier League.
"Our situation is very bad, but we will not give up," the club said.
"As long as there is a very small chance, we will fight to the last drop of our blood."

"I do not know why I was replaced. It is a question that should be addressed to the coach who made the decision and thought about what is good for the team," said Nigerian midfielder John Ugo at the end of the game, after coming down very angry towards the bench while being replaced.
"I feel we had a chance to win this game, but we did not take advantage of the opportunities we had. Hadera had only two situations and they took advantage of them and scored. This is a very difficult moment for us, mainly because we prepared well for this game, especially after the victory against Petah Tikva. "We felt it was a great opportunity for us, in front of our fans, but we did not take the opportunity we had. We have two important games left, it's like a marathon, anything can happen and I prefer to think positive and wait for our next game, next Sunday."

Ugo was asked if he did not think the loss decided the fate of the team and replied: "This is a great opportunity for the club, and a great opportunity for everyone's career here. This loss hurts but it is not over. Hapoel Jerusalem and Petah Tikva will play against each other, so there is "We have more hope, we have two big games left and we will have to win them. We played against a team that came up with five defensive players and it was not easy for us. We have a decisive game against Kiryat Shmona on Sunday and we will have to come prepared."
"I'm here because of my experience," Ugo added at the end.
"This club gave me the opportunity to return to play after two years of not playing and I will do everything to give them back. I felt good and wanted to keep playing and like I said, the coach decided otherwise. This loss is a big lesson for all players and we have two more games left. I'm sure we'll stay in the league. "If I did not believe it, I would not be here today. If we win both games we will stay in the league."
