The head is still in Bloomfield: Maccabi Haifa ended this evening (Tuesday) in a 2:2 draw with Maccabi Netanya in the first game of the State Cup.
Torrential rain and hail, a fast pace, a turnaround, great goals, misses, a disallowed goal, in short, the game between Maccabi Netanya and Maccabi Haifa was a treat for the eyes and reminded me more of games from the best leagues in Europe.
Netanya's ability was reminiscent of the lively and attacking team of the Diamonds from last season.
Ran Kozhuk's players started the game strongly and had to translate their priority into an advantage, but once Rami Gershon went off the line and saved his team and the other opportunities stopped at Mishpeti.
In complete contrast to what happened on the grass, Haifa scored in one of its few attacks from the feet of Din David.
The second half was completely under the control of the diamonds.
Patrick Twamsey danced on the field and showed that he has not forgotten to play football.
Hagnai scored a great goal and then made the conversion for Omari Gandelman.
The greens looked very bad and Bakar brought all his stars off the bench one by one - Sheri, Ali Muhammad, Atzil, and Netanya was still better and could have given the third, but then again out of nowhere Abu Fani managed to equalize.
Haifa suddenly woke up and pressed hard in the last minutes and was not far from making the change, but finally the game ended in a great two-two draw and the decision went to Sami Ofer.
