Summary: Maccabi Tel Aviv - Hapoel Beer Sheva 0:1/Sport1
Although it did not show impressive ability and especially when in the last minutes Hapoel Beer Sheva put it in great danger, Maccabi Tel Aviv is very satisfied this morning (Sunday) with last night's victory over Eliniv Barda and his players on the way to opening a gap of 9 points from the Southerners in third place and 3 points from Maccabi Haifa, who will play tonight against .s.
Ashdod at the 11A Stadium.
There were several stories in last night's game which ended in a 0:1 victory. The main story was once again Eran Zahavi who did not find the back of the net in another league game and this time he also missed a penalty. Robbie Keane brought Zahavi back into the lineup last night, but replaced him in the second half.
Out of the last nine league games, Zahavi scored only in the Tel Aviv derby. Last night he also published a short post on Instagram in which he thanked the fans and his teammates for supporting him. Keen was asked last night at the press conference about Zahavi's decline and said: "In training, he is the same Zahavi from the beginning of the season.
There is no difference between his ability then in Kiryat Shalom and what he is showing now.
Sometimes what a striker needs is a little luck.
The other players need to understand that they also need to score and I'm happy we did that."
One gets a back, the other begins to earn it.

But there were other stories, like Milson who scored the winning goal and once again taught how much Maccabi Tel Aviv missed him when he was in the African Championship.
Another story came from the direction of Idan Nahmias, who entered the lineup at right back and was excellent.
If you want another story, then Osher Davide, who did not start in the lineup and entered as a substitute in place of Younes Melda who was injured, deserves to be one of the stories of the game.
Robbie Keane intends to give David more minutes and start trusting him from the first minute.
"Every time Osher came off the bench, like tonight, he was good and gave of himself. He is knocking on our door to get a chance to start in the lineup."
Keane told the players at the end of the game: "Give me a headache every game. I like that players give me a positive headache. Make your substitution meaningful. Make your substitution meaningful when you go up to play."

Keane was pleased that the team did not concede and he complimented it in the dressing room.
A member of the team said: "We forget that Hapoel Be'er Sheva was the hit of the league until a week ago with ten consecutive victories. We beat a very strong team that wanted to join the battle for the championship."
