Updated summary: Beitar Jerusalem - Maccabi Tel Aviv 1:0/Sport1
On the eve of the game yesterday (Sunday) at Teddy, Robbie Keane was asked at the press conference what he learned about his team after Thursday's big win in Piraeus over Olympiakos.
Cain didn't think, and immediately shot: "I will give my answer on Monday morning."
The Maccabi Tel Aviv coach did not wait for this morning.
Already last night in the press conference room at Teddy he talked about the character of his players.
For the fact that they didn't have a big game last night against Beitar Jerusalem, but they made their way back to Kiryat Shalom with the three most important points there is, certainly when Maccabi Haifa lost.
Until they decide in the Supreme Court of the Association whether to return to Maccabi Haifa the league point that was dropped to them , the gap is five points and Maccabi Tel Aviv secured first place at the end of the regular season next week.
Maccabi Tel Aviv is very satisfied with Cain after the success in Europe and the fact that he was able to stop the deterioration in the games in which the team lost 14 points. Cain has a contract for next season and Maccabi Tel Aviv wants to realize it , but neither the club nor the coach are now dealing with the question of continuing for another season. "Roby knew how to bring the team back from Greece after a huge victory and managed to choose the right lineup and make the substitutions in time to win a very difficult away game against Beitar, which looks good," they said last night at the club.
First place is guaranteed.

Keen is highly praised in Maccabi Tel Aviv, but there are also players who recently received less attention and last night they had a huge part in the victory.
Roi Mishfati Asa recorded another good night at work and kept a clean sheet, Idan Nahmias has been looking excellent for several games and is giving excellent defensive performances, Dan Bitton returned to the lineup last night and was very good especially in the first half, and last to mention is Dor Turgeman who replaced Eran Zahavi and in a personal move Bariqi gave Maccabi Tel Aviv the penalty that beat Beitar.
Maccabi Tel Aviv will have a rest today and tomorrow will begin preparations for the rematch against Olympiakos on Thursday in Bacca Tupola. Maccabi Tel Aviv will fly to Belgrade the day after tomorrow after holding the final training session in Kiryat Shalom and will leave for Serbia at the end.
