5-0 this is how Maccabi Haifa start the new season! Hapoel Kfar Saba was the team that got the 5 goals. A dream starts for Maccabi Haifa, bad start for Hapoel Kfar Saba.

Ruso and Katan cheers

Maccabi Haifa played very nice but when they scored the first goal the games ended. Great game of Giovani Ruso was too much for Hapoel Kfar Saba and also wonderful game by Yaniv Katan. But Nenad Pralija wasn’t so good and lost some balls in the middle. Haifa played with only one striker, Katan went to the left side of offence.
At Hapoel Kfar Saba we can't say too much. They seem to have weak team. Her defense doesn’t know how to defend! Ohad Cohen is good goalkeeper and we can't blame him for any of the goals.

Right at the start Katan stroked the ball good but Cohen took it.
In the 12^th minute Ruso stroke the ball and it took a deflection and went to Ajipor who was free against Cohen 5 meters from the goal and score.
Dorin Totrash from Kfar Saba stroked a poor ball to Awate hands. A free kick by Dorin Totrash wanted to Awate's hands.
At the other end Yakobo stroke the ball in the box but Kfar Saba's keeper took it well.
In the 28^th minute Katan pasted 2 player like water and shot the ball from 25 meters into the net, 2-0 to Maccabi Haifa.
In the 37^th minute Katan passed the ball deep into the box and Ruso came from behind and score from 5 meters.
Yakobo slammed the ball nice but Cohen pushed it to a corner kick. After that Pralija kicked one from long range but Cohen again pushed it out, 3-0 at the half.
In the 47^th minute, Ruso got the ball from Yakobo, run into the box past Cohen and score easily.
In the 51 minute Cohen brought Yakobo down in the box. Yakobo finished it easily from the spot.
In the 71^st minute Katan stroke it well but the keeper took it once but the another shot was sent away from the line by Chechian.
Milaer stroke a fine free kick but Awate drove it away.

So it finished 5-0 easily for Maccabi Haifa. Yet it is a shame that Hapoel Kfar Saba didn’t shot one good shot to the goal.
