Summary: Beitar Jerusalem - Hapoel Petah Tikva 2:2/Sport1
Beitar Jerusalem registered another disappointment this evening (Tuesday) when it ended with a frustrating 2:2 against Hapoel Petah Tikva. The Aboksis team was already leading 0:2, but Dan Azaria was sent off and Idan Vared Tsimak was sent off on a penalty before the break.

Yossi Abouxis said after the game: "We played an exceptional half hour. We received a red that we didn't take into account. It was really exceptional football. The red forced us to go back and this is the result. Their goal was their only situation in the second half. We knew we couldn't press with ten men. We were very committed, the players gave everything. From one situation they scored the goal and it's a shame."
On Myron George: "It's his weight. There are thin and thin players and there are those who are fuller. He entered the last part. It was difficult for Friday to give a second consecutive game with effort. It was very difficult for us during such a busy time to play with ten players."
The coach criticized the fans who once again cursed him and said: "It can't be that every game our crowd starts cursing me personally. It happened against Hapoel Haifa, it happened today. It's very annoying, they cause pressure in the team. It causes restlessness for both me and the team . Pretty tired of it already."
"The game went the way we wanted at the beginning. We grabbed, we scored. The red changed the game. The players were exhausted, everyone was running. We deserved a victory here, but it was probably too much for us to play for so long with ten players."
"I'm happy and disappointed that we didn't manage to take the points," said Adi Yona, who scored a pair, "Today, several things happened to us that took us out of the game - both the red, and the penalty. In the end, we didn't manage to take three points, but we will continue to fight until the end because we have A goal and many teams lose points. We will arrive ready for the derby on Sunday."
On the goal of reaching the top playoffs: "We are trying to create a streak and are not succeeding, but I hope that in the next few games we will succeed in order to enter the playoffs. A derby is a derby, everyone knows, we will reach the highest level of readiness to win."
The interest from teams: "It's very flattering. I'm happy that my confidence has opened up and I'm starting to show things I know how to do. I hope to continue like this."
Bar Natan on the red card: "I detected an injury to the foot in the game and that's why I drew a yellow. The screen referee called my attention that the injury started even earlier and endangered the opposing player, so I changed to red."
