The summary: Watch the turnaround of Bnei Raina, who beat Maccabi Haifa 1:2/Sport1
An atmosphere of despondency in Maccabi Haifa after the painful 2:1 loss to Bnei Rayna last night (Sunday), following which and after returning the point to Maccabi Tel Aviv at the Supreme Court, the champion is now five points away from the top.
Regardless of the results of the final round of the regular season and even before the decision on the appeal that the Greens submitted to the Supreme Court for the point that was dropped to them, it has already been determined that Maccabi Tel Aviv will host the first meeting between the teams in the top playoff, in the 28th round.
In fact, Masai Dago's players were unable to recover from the painful loss they suffered last Thursday at the hands of Fiorentina in the Conference League.
The Greens will have to overcome the new situation at the top of the table very quickly, when later this week the team will go to the rematch against Fiorentina which will be held on Thursday (19:45, Sport1) in Florence and three days later they will host Hapoel Tel Aviv, as part of the final round of the regular season.
If during the day the talk with the champion touched on the timing of the Supreme Court's announcement about the return of the point to Maccabi Tel Aviv, then after the loss to Bnei Rayna, almost all of the club's staff talked about the weak ability displayed by most of the players.
"The matters of the court are behind us, and to tell the truth, this cannot be an excuse for us for the weak ability we presented," they said in the club without evading.
"Too many players didn't look good in this game and in the second half we couldn't find solutions to the good game presented by Reina."

Dego himself did not spare criticism from his team and said at the end: "The second half was a disaster, we were very weak. We didn't deserve to win, but there's nothing we can do, we think ahead."
In Maccabi Haifa, there was a lot of criticism of the defensive play, when most of the fire was absorbed by Lorenzo Shimich, who played a weak game, and the goalkeeper Sherif Kif, who was not at his best, when the second goal from the legs of Case Ganem, he received with a kick between the legs that he could have stopped with a little more sharpness and alertness.
A player in the team said: "You have to tell the truth, we didn't show up for the game. We should have looked better and the rest is not interesting."

In Haifa they talked about the fact that precisely after the winning goal from a successful penalty by Anan Halaili, the team faded away and was unable to get the second goal that would have probably ended the story for them.
In the first half the greens still looked relatively good, but in the second half there was already a big drop in ability and energy on the grass, and in the end the goals of Shlomi Azoulai and Kais Ganem, within four minutes, decided the fate of the game.
Dego also knew that his team was coming tired and injured, so he emphasized the need to increase the advantage, which, as mentioned, did not happen in the end.
The champion arrived at the Green Stadium last night without the injured Shawn Goldberg and Danil Lesvoi who remained out of the squad and Lior Rafalov came up to play with a shot due to a leg injury.
