Last season, Maccabi Tel Aviv failed to beat Bnei Sakhnin in all 4 games they had against the team from the sector, and precisely yesterday (Saturday) with a poor ability, the Yellows managed to win in Doha and temporarily increase the gap at the top to 4 points.

"You can't give every game a three-pointer, the trick is to win even less good games," they said in Kiryat Shalom.
But despite the victory, one cannot help but wonder why the coach of the yellows, Vladan Ivić, decided to make so many changes in the lineup compared to the 11 that started in the victory in the derby - such as benching Gabi Kanikovski, Ofir Davidzade and Maor Kandil, and shifting Nir Biton from the center of defense to the link squad.
In the end, the one who saved the game for Ivić was Maor Kandil, who came off the bench and scored the dramatic winning goal: "Definitely, this is a victory of character after we haven't won here in the last two years," Kandil said, "Sakhnin deserved a point, they are a good team. A lot Teams will lose points in Doha, and I'm glad we did it."

Kandil continued: "We are in a kind of marathon and I hope we will continue the positive momentum. It crossed our minds that we did not beat them last year, we wanted to give a goal at the beginning, but the game did not develop as we wanted, but in the end the character decided the game and I am glad we did it. I waited This goal took a long time, and I'm happy that I helped the team in such a "critical" minute.
