Eran Zahavi is proud of Maccabi Tel Aviv's recovery: "Maybe it's better for us to be under pressure" - Voila! Sport

Summary: Maccabi Tel Aviv - Hapoel Beer Sheva 0:1 (Sport 1)

Maccabi Tel Aviv returned to the championship fight this evening (Monday) with a dramatic 0:1 victory over Hapoel Beer Sheva.

A rare goal, the second overall in his career, by Andre Geraldes made the difference and narrowed the gap between the yellows from the leading Maccabi Haifa to five points and the second Be'er Sheva to only one point, after three previous games in which they failed to win.

The big happy one was the goalkeeper Daniel Peretz, who thought in the 93rd minute that his mistake resulted in a tie, but Helder Lopes' goal was disallowed due to a difference by Eitan Tibi and the three points remained yellow.

Maccabi Tel Aviv has already counted 26 home games without a loss, since M.S.

Ashdod won in Bloomfield in October 2021.

Eran Zahavi: "It was a very prestigious game, very important to us, against a team that we lost to in the previous round at their home and we wanted to win back at our home. It was a close game, we fought for the ball, and sometimes you have to know how to win not only in the good games, but in the difficult ones, which you have to be in Together, and I'm very happy.

"I feel that when we have our backs against the wall, I believe in our players, in this club, and maybe it's better for us to be under pressure, because we mustn't take our foot off the gas for a moment.

We have to come ready, alert, running for each other, when we play with passion, we look different.

If we think things will come easily, they won't.

We need to move forward, without celebrations.

We need to improve mentally."

On the fight for the title: "There are three good teams that score a lot of points and it will be a very difficult playoff, so this is good for Israeli football.

Even after the game against Haifa we reduced the gap to 5, and then we kicked the bucket.

Hapoel Beer Sheva is still above us,
