Summary: Maccabi Haifa - Apollon Limassol 0:4 (Sport1)

Maccabi Haifa will fly to Cyprus today (Sunday) for the return match against Apollon Limassol the day after tomorrow (20:00, Sport1) as part of the third qualifying round of the Champions League.

The professional team made it clear to the players that despite the promising 0:4 they recorded in the first game, the rematch should not be underestimated in order to avoid complications.

"We didn't talk about the Red Star even once. First we'll finish one task and then we'll focus on the one after it," they said at the club.

Maccabi Haifa made it clear that even though the qualification for the playoff stage is almost guaranteed, it is important to achieve a victory in the return game as well because such a result will give the Israeli teams an additional ranking point in the European establishments: "We have been in the process of progressing for two years and the score is important for the coming seasons."

Coach Barak Becher will rotate, but will not be in the secondary lineup entirely.

San Menachem, Omer Atzili, Nikita Rocabitzia and Muhammad Abu Fani are expected to start, while Maor Levy, Ofri Arad and others will also get minutes.

Several groups groped him.

Those who will remain in Israel and will not fly with Maccabi Haifa are Ben Shaher and Raz Meir, who will continue their rehabilitation from injuries with fitness coach Uri Harel.

Nehrai Yafarah and Ilai Hajj will also not go out with the team, with the latter starting tomorrow to train in the ranks of Hapoel Afula and it is estimated that he will sign with them for another season after he played for them on loan last season.

Sharif Kif has also started training in Afula and his loan is expected to become official in the coming days.

As for Perah, several teams in the Premier League have inquired about him, but in Afula they estimate that he will also play for them.

About 1,500 fans will go out with the greens for the game at Apollon, having bought tickets even before the 0:4 last week.
