Maccabi Haifa knows it has a month until the World Cup break and as in survival, it wants to survive on the island in the championship fight against Maccabi Tel Aviv.
As in reality TV, sometimes you have to get dirty and sometimes you fall into the water, as already happened to the Greens against Hapoel Jerusalem and Bnei Rayna.
But the goal is to survive.
You can lose a task and still be in the game and that is what is happening right now as far as Barak Bachar and his players are concerned.
The away game in KS is the kind of task that you have to go through. Like standing on a tightrope for hours and you have to be the last one standing. There were years when Haifa fell and it wasn't easy for her this time either. She led twice with goals from Franzadi Piero (27) and Charon Sherry (48) ), but Itamar Shapiro equalized twice (37, 53). Shapiro could have knocked Maccabi Haifa off the ropes but he missed in his easiest situation from five meters in front of an open goal in a 2:2 situation.
This is exactly where Haifa realized that she would survive this mission.
A shot by Dylan in Tubinsica in the 83rd minute restored the advantage to the champion and from there she did not stumble.
It's difficult, Sisyphean, but Barak Bacher's group is still on the island.
Looking ahead, she is worried about Daniel Sondgren's injury and has PSG on her mind this coming Tuesday.
Menachem Koretsky and Ironi KSH are still without a win from the first round and if the results do not change, the coach will not survive.
