Maccabi Haifa won 0:2 last night (Saturday) in the season's game against Maccabi Tel Aviv and the players celebrated at the end with striker Dean David, who came on as a substitute and scored a brace, including a wonderful goal with the heel.
These are David's first goals of the season, which he dedicated to his mother Orly Jal, who passed away before the start of the season.
"There is nothing worthy of Madin David" they said at the club and added: "He exploded in time, factually he is worth our two victories over Maccabi Tel Aviv because he also beat them a year ago at Sami Ofer with a winning goal in the 90th minute. That's how we get out of a difficult period in style".

Beyond that, there is a consensus in the ranks of the champions that they deserved the victory.
The Greens had 16 threats in the game this season, five of them on target.
"Only" one team came to play and it was the one that won," said players in Barak Becher's team, "we played offensively, we pressed them and it paid off.
There was no disputing who the best team was.
It would be an injustice if the game ended in a draw."
Besides the praise for Dean David, the replacement Ali Muhammad also received compliments and with him the stopper Shawn Goldberg ("Having a rare two years with us").
Goldberg ends his contract in the summer and the club is expected to extend the contract with him for at least two more years.
Today only the players who were not involved last night will have a full training session.
Haifa will go to Turin tomorrow for the game against Juventus at the end of Yom Kippur.
Ali Muhammad, who entered last night as a substitute, is expected to start in the 11 against the Italians in place of Neta Lavi, Shitsum.
The only hesitation that appears ahead of Wednesday, is whether to allow fast players such as Dolev Haziza and Omar Atzili to play a half in Turin or to prefer Mavis Chibuta at their expense.
A final decision will be made before arriving in Italy.
