The Yellow-and-Blue drew 1:1 against Hapoel Raanana away at the Netanya Stadium while Beer Sheva defeated Beitar Jerusalem as the desert Red’s opened up a five point lead atop the table. The Head Coach, Peter Bosz was disappointed with the result in,ought of the many chances his side created:

“A five point lead is a very large lead at this point in the season. It will be very hard to close the gap. I think we needed to score another goal. If you look at all of the opportunities we had, one goal is just not enough. The fact that we also gave up a goal on a free kick also shouldn’t have happened.”

The last month:

“I agree that our results over the last month doesn’t reflect a team that wanted to win the title. We can only blame ourselves. We played well during the games just like we did against Bnei Sakhnin and today, but we had to score more.”

The disappointment that the championship is slipping away:

“I’m disappointed because I am a winner and I want to win every match. Especially a game like today where we had to win. Today’s outcome and the loss of points have no impact on my future.”
