Four days before Maccabi hosts the first league Derby of the season against Hapoel, the Yellow & Blue picked up an important 3:0 victory over Bnei Sakhnin at Doha Stadium defeating Yossi Abuksis’s side with the help of a brace by Oscar Scarione and an early second half goal by Vidar Kjartansson.
The midfielder summed up the match and also discussed why he didn’t celebrate too much after his goals: “Sometimes I celebrate more and sometimes less. It’s not because it was easy. There are times I go crazy and other times not, that’s just me. It wasn’t an easy game. We controlled the ball and we did our job. When you score in the first half it makes life much easier. We knew that they are a team that battles and we had to make sure we concentrated on the match.”
Prior to the Derby:
“For us every match is important. We want to be in the championship fight and in order to win you have to be able to be victorious in these types of matches. I am aware of the importance of the Derby and I don’t know if it’s like Boca and River. I’ll experience it and then I can compare.”
The Zenit match:
“The match against Zenit is over. We learned from the game and we moved on.”
Living in Israel:
“I’m enjoying it here. My family and friends are all in Argentina, but all in all I’m having a great time in Israel.”
