10 minutes to end we saw nothing but then Maccabi Petach Tikva had few chances to steal the 3 points from Hapoel Tel Aviv.


Pini "The Hair" Balili, just couldn't score

Hapoel Tel Aviv played offal because they were too tiered after the game in England in Thursday. Hapoel Tel Aviv started the game without Abuksis and Holmay maybe the best players in her lineup. The only good things in Hapoel came from Pini "The Hair" Balili. He was the most dangerous player on the pitch.
In Maccabi Petach Tikva's side we didn’t see much but Guy Lozon has good team. We saw some sparks in the end of the match. Kobi Refua is good player and I can't see when he opened the game on the bench.

The first half was very poor. After 10 minutes Abutbol kicked a nice ball from 25 meters, but Cohen took it well. Later Loz ran in to the box but his shot was sent away. These 2 chances were the only chances in the first half.
In the start of the second half Ansombo crossed a good ball to the middle of the box and Golan headed it near the bar. In the 52nd minute Odi got a good ball and faced Cohen but his shot from 8 meters was too weak and Cohen saved it.
Hapoel Tel Aviv started to control the game and had more chances. Odi stroke a nice ball from 20 meters but Cohen jumped well and turned it to a corner. Few minutes later Abutbol and Afek's shots went wide from long range.
16 minutes to the end Balili had two good chances one with his head and one with a strike but Cohen was too good to be surrendered.
In the other side Ganon smashed a great ball from 15 meters but Elimelch flew and turned the ball to a corner kick.
Tadic got the best chance in the match 2 minutes to the final whistle. Ikenza ran in the left and crossed to the other side to Tadic, who was free against Elimelch 5 meters from the goal. Tadic kicked the ball but somehow it went over the bar, what a miss, still 0-0.
In the stoppage time Malihi's free kick from 20 meters took a deflection and went few centimeters over Elimelch's bar.
So at the end we saw a bad 0-0 with a big hope for better times in both teams.
