Summary of the State Cup: Hapoel Kfar Saba - Maccabi Haifa 6:3/Sport1
Maccabi Haifa review of the second half against Hapoel Kfar Saba.
At halftime, Masai Dago asked his players to score the third goal to end the game in Round 8 of the State Cup, but the Greens got into trouble and went to overtime against the rival from the bottom of the National League, before being rescued with a dramatic 3:6.
"We turned the easiest game into a nightmare," said a member of the team.
"The players were too relaxed with the advantage of two goals and the result was an unnecessary entanglement."
Dago himself seemed very disappointed at the end and even talked about the bad feelings.
At the same time, in Haifa they know that the goal was first of all to pass, and therefore the champion succeeded in the task.
Quite a few players received compliments, especially in the front.
One of them was Tomer Hamed, who in the renewed debut scored a brace and looked very sharp.
"They also said about Lior Rafalov that it was only an emotional rehearsal," stated the same source.
"Tomer can also give very good games and contribute to the team. Many people probably forgot that he is one of the most prominent strikers in the last decade."
He has a lot to contribute.

Anan Halaili and Sof Podgorano also received great compliments.
In Haifa they are waiting for the explosion of the second and hope that the good ability, the great goal and the cooking will release him now and bring him to show the ability that is expected of him.
Gadi Kinda also received kind words.
On the defensive side, Haifa was full of criticism, and the professional team will ask the players to return to the defensive ability that characterized the team the last few cycles.
"Such defensive naivety will result in us not winning against Beer Sheva," stated a player in the team, "we must be much sharper defensively."
