Summary: Maccabi Haifa - Hapoel Jerusalem 1:2 (Sport1)
Maccabi Haifa are angry about the refereeing in yesterday's (Sunday) 1:2 victory over Hapoel Jerusalem.
According to club officials, the penalty whistled for the Jerusalemites, which led to a temporary equalizer by Guy Badash in the first half, was neither created nor created.
"In no normal league do you whistle for a penalty for this. We don't usually complain, but there is a limit, we won't be silent any longer," said a club official.
The main argument of the Maccabi Haifa fans was against the head referee Shlomi Ben Avraham, who they claim previously declared his sympathy for Maccabi Tel Aviv, so it is not clear why he is assigned to the games of its rival for the championship.
At the end of the game, the chairman of the referees union, Yariv Teper, addressed the matter in an interview with "Radio Haifa" and said: "Shlomi did not declare any conflict of interest.
The only problem with him was that he went to the cup final a few years ago when his nephews were wearing Maccabi Tel Aviv uniforms, but he stated that he has no conflict of interest and that he is not a fan of any team."

In the meantime, the club continues to work on the new contracts for the senior players.
Next in line is expected to be Omar Atzili, the team's top scorer, who has already agreed with the team until 2026. Atzili's official signing of the contract is expected to take place in the coming days.
