Maccabi “Shachar” Tel Aviv continued their fine play of late and picked up another quality victory by defeating first place Maccabi Haifa 1:0 away on Matchday 25 of the Youth Ligat Ha’Al. Guy Shetah’s 76th minute goal gave the young Yellow & Blue their sixth win in seven games and denied the Greens the opportunity to celebrate their championship already today.
Following the match, Head Coach Guy Tzarfati spoke about his player’s performance: “Defeating Maccabi Haifa is no small task. This club is having a fantastic season but I want to look at our play first. To come here and play well with a ton of positive energy is all part of what we have been building over the past season”
About the season as a whole:
“I don’t feel that this was a missed opportunity. On one hand, we are Maccabi and we want to win titles, but we can’t forget that we are going though a complete changeover in the Youth Department. Our players are working very hard and very intensely. Our victory is to take the players to the end of the season and for them to understand the expectations and the path that we are taking them on here at Maccabi.”
