Summary of Maccabi Tel Aviv's 1:2 victory over M.S. Ashdod (Sport1)
Maccabi Tel Aviv believes that this time Enric Savorit will receive citizenship and will be considered an Israeli in the team's foreign list for next season. As first reported here on Saturday, Saborit agreed a new contract at Maccabi Tel Aviv that will keep him at the club for another three years, and on Thursday Maccabi Tel Aviv sent the details to the Football Association to restart the application for his citizenship, as it has done in the past and successfully with Miguel Vitor.
Football chairman Shino Zuaretz is in contact with Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar, who promised to help Interior Minister Moshe Arbel, and this time Maccabi Tel Aviv is convinced that the process will end with citizenship for Saburit and very soon. Even coach Aitor Karanka said last night as he left the stadium in Ashdod that he takes into account that Saborit will not be considered a foreigner next season, which will allow Maccabi Tel Aviv to strengthen with another foreigner.

The move, which was launched again last Thursday, was planned in recent weeks behind the scenes, after it already seemed that Maccabi Tel Aviv had given up and given up on the defender who has been playing here since the summer of 2018. Saborit only had to sign a one-season contract, but the move to naturalize him would lead to him playing in Israel for another three years.

Also at Maccabi Tel Aviv: Eran Zahavi sums up an "exciting, disappointing and annoying" comeback season.
"Thank you for another season. An exciting, disappointing and annoying season, which began somewhere in an exciting return game in Bloomfield and ended in disappointment without titles," Zahavi wrote on Instagram. "In sports, unfortunately, more losers than winners, and this year was like this, but I can assure you that we tried hard and gave everything. There were a lot of obstacles along the way. We're going into a short break with the goal of coming back stronger, better and winning."
