Six months after Alon Brumer scored the goal to give Maccabi Tel Aviv the League Championship, the Yellow & Blue returned to Wassermil for another big match against the southern side. Nir Klinger gave the host’s a first half lead, but Sergei Gusev evened the score just as the second half got underway. However, Maccabi didn’t hang their heads and forged on as Avi Nimni assisted on Itzik Zohar’s 75th minute goal, while just three minutes later, Eli Drikes sealed the deal as the Yellow & Blue moved to the top of the table.
That same evening, November 4, 1995, Yitzhak Rabin was murdered in an event that shook Israel and the world and will be permanently etched into the annals of history.
