One day ago no one believed that Maccabi could take even 1 point but now with 3 points in their arms Haifa marks the 3^rd place as the serious challenge of her days in the Champions League.
Haifa played wonderful, with a great game by Zautaotas that took control in the middle, passed good balls and tackled a lot. Rosu did what ever he wanted. I guess every one played very well, the defence, the offence, all.

Haifa started well when Rosu ran at the right side and past 3 players, at the end he shot the ball but it to a deflection at someone and went out. Later Forlan had a chance but Awate saved it.
At the 34^th minute Kessi's free kick went a meter over the post. 3 minutes later Richardson had a good chance from 5 meters but it hit Zanu and went to a corner kick.
In the 41^st minute Katan past O'shea and smashed a wonderful shot straight into the net from 20 meters, what a goal!
In the 54^th minute Forlan kick a nice ball from 25 meters and it hit the bar.
In the 56^th minute Zautaotas smashed a wonderful strike from 30 meters and it went to the net Ricardo couldn’t do anything, what a goal, 2-0 to Haifa.
In the 77^th Ricardo brought down Zautaotas in the box. Yakobo killed Manchester with the 3^rd on the night, 3-0.
