After three easy victories in the first three rounds of the Premier League, Maccabi Tel Aviv was stopped tonight (Saturday) in Ashdod with 0:0.
Eran Zahavi missed a penalty in the first half, Derrick Lucassen's goal in the final minutes was disallowed due to a difference by Enrik Saborit and after the dust settled, the Yellows discovered that they trailed Maccabi Haifa at the top by two points.
"I slipped and it was unlucky,"
Zahavi
said about the missed penalty, "If I had scored the game would have been much easier. The responsibility is on me, but there is a very long league."
The striker added: "It is very difficult to play against a team that defends in its own half with many players. We could have scored, but today we didn't do it. We will take the good things and fix the less good things and it will be fine. Until today in the last three games we have found solutions."

concluded: "We knew it would be a tough game against a tough opponent. We expected them to play with a lot of players behind the ball. I think in the first half we created situations and were better, but you can't be satisfied with the result and parts of the game, because there were parts where something was missing in the movement Without the ball. We need to improve that."
On his team's offensive game: "We tried to create something different, to kick from a distance. It's difficult when they defend and only play on bursts. We didn't score and have to settle for a point."
On Oscar Gloch not starting: "I have other good players who can start."
On possible reinforcement: "After every game I hear the same question. We want to strengthen in certain positions with players who can help us."
Started with smiles.

said: "Today we looked exceptional defensively. It was a very tactical game, Maccabi Tel Aviv reached maybe two situations. If we had been a little more accurate we would have won this game. I have no complaints against the players because they took defensive actions and sometimes lack of oxygen at the end".
On Yaakov Barihon: "He came back from a very serious injury. Right now he and I are in the same physical condition (laughs). I have a good place for him in the club and he will play more in the future. Sometimes getting into a rhythm at the beginning of games is more difficult and it's okay that he comes in as a substitute."
On the refereeing and the penalty that was whistled for Maccabi Tel Aviv: "This is the second week that penalties are invented against us, the ease with which they whistle against us is unimaginable. They don't even check with VAR. I can't understand this ease."
Yoav Jarfi
: "Maccabi Tel Aviv sat on us during the game. We went a little behind and I'm happy that we were able to leave an important point. This year we have a better team that I believe will be able to screw up in the top playoffs."
