Robbie Cain made some changes in the lineup and his players put heavy pressure on Sakhnin’s hair for the opening match. Zahavi and Enrique Savorit squeezed tremendous saves from Abu Nil already in the first minutes and the goalkeeper continued to withstand the burst in the face of quite a few challenges in the first half in a one-sided situation. The yellows went down frustrated for the break and the pressure from the crowd also began to increase as the minutes of the game ticked by, and then the dramatic moment arrived. Shekar’s burst on Ahmed ended with a perfect bite and a ball in the net, but the VAR drew Shiloh’s attention to the contact between Shekar’s leg and Gabi Kanikowski’s leg at the beginning of the move. The referee waited, went over to see for himself, hesitated and finally disallowed the goal, to the cheers of more than 20 thousand fans.
From here, the yellow gate was only a matter of time. The one who had the honor of breaking the ice was Dor Peretz, who bombed into the net with a great performance and celebrated his seventh of the season in the league. Zahavi completed in extra time with his 15th and Maccabi Tel Aviv already has five consecutive victories, since the 1:1 at home against the same Sakhnin. The guest, who did her part by actually reaching the top playoffs, was close to another surprise and will be involved in judging, as well as Maccabi Haifa, who hoped to stumble the leader. But Maccabi Tel Aviv is not interested in all this. You are already within touching distance.
