Vladan Ivic should be worried.
Although Maccabi Tel Aviv recorded a 0:2 victory over Bnei Raina this evening (Monday) at the start of the second round and returned to second place in the table, but her ability was again not good, and if she had faced a slightly better opponent, it is not at all certain that she would have won.
The opening actually boded well for the yellows.
Eran Zahavi, who came back well from the break and scored a double in the cup, found the net in 7 minutes.
Raina let Maccabi play without any interference, but the Yellows didn't take advantage of it, shifted to second gear, and when Cohen and Gloch got into situations they weren't sharp.

Maccabi's ability did not improve in the second half either, but luckily they have Daniel Peretz between the posts.
The goalkeeper prevented Osama Halaila and a shot by the substitute Boateng to equalize the score, and on the other side Enrique Savorit closed the matter.
Maccabi marks V for this game, but the ability must improve.
