Dor Micha opened the scoring for Maccabi Tel Aviv in the 3rd minute, banging home a rebound to give his side an early lead. Number 15 spoke about the match, Tal Ben Chaim’s yellow card, the playoff round and more:

“It was very important for us to go into the playoff round in the best shape possible. This was our fourth win in a row and we played terrific football today which is most important. We have to continue this way.”

About the match:

“It may have been our best match of the year. We created chances, pressed and controlled the ball as we really dominated every parameter of the game.”

Scoring a goal and beating a defensive system:

“I felt great. When you play against a team that is very defensive and puts a lot of players in the box, you have to come down the wings to attack and draw them out.”

Tal Ben Chaim picked up a yellow card and won’t play against Beer Sheva:

“He will really be missed and I think that the referee needed to show a bit more patience. There’s nothing you can do now and it’s part of the game. We will have to move on without him for that match. It’s unfortunate.”

The playoff round begins next week:

“We’re used to beginning the playoffs in first place but this time it’s a bit different. We’re in money time now and we will have to give it our all to keep the title.”
