It was a small 0:1. Giant. 0:1 which is much bigger than Maccabi’s six at the beginning of the season. A victory that forgets that defeat and brings Masai Degu back to life (and how much he deserves after the injustice done to him this week!). Beer Sheva is not returning to the fight for the championship, but Maccabi will not win it easily, and certainly will not celebrate Turner.
Maccabi once again blamed the referee and Robbie Keen was quick to declare at the end that the victory did not come to Be’er Sheva. It has arrived! And after Kane watches the game again, he’ll realize Breda just schooled him on the grass.
Beer Sheva arrived with their backs against the wall: Maccabi is a better team, and the Yellows came to Turner with extraordinary momentum over the Reds, with six consecutive victories and knowing that a victory brings them very close to the championship.
But Berda had other plans: the red heart of Beer Sheva again managed to pull out its aces. In the first half, he surprised with Or Dedia, who eliminated Maccabi Tel Aviv’s best player (Milson) and in the second half, when Maccabi controlled the game and came close to the goal, he bounced Arthur Shoshnatchev and Antonio Sefer off the bench at exactly the right moment – and these two, along with Miguel Vitor The never-ending, made the difference and led to a heroic victory of 11 fighters on the grass.
So it’s true, the penalty probably came from a different player, but if Maccabi Tel Aviv should learn a lesson from Maccabi Haifa’s mistakes – it’s to stop worrying about the refereeing mistakes or the decisions of the court and play football. Two rounds ago a terrible refereeing error (the VAR disallowed a completely legal advantage goal by Mohamed Shekar against Maccabi Tel Aviv) led to their victory over Sakhnin. These mistakes are an integral part of football. for better and for worse. And this time it went for the better…
And one more word. More correctly two: Miguel Vitor. Wow! At the weekend he and his family were injured in a car accident and from the point of view of the medical team there was great doubt as to whether he would be able to take part in the game. Not in terms of Vitor. Beer Sheva’s most important player gave another huge display, and for dessert he jumped with his whole body and saved a safe goal on one side of the field and on the other side squeezed the penalty that led to the winning goal. Alona had only one thing left to do: bring him into the office, ask what he wanted and sign.
