Head Coach Jordi Cruyff had a full squad at his disposal including the new signings, Omer Atzily and Ofir Davidzada along with the National Team players who arrived at camp this week. Atzily made his Yellow & Blue debut in the Starting XI.

Maccabi put pressure on Spartak from the get go as Sagiv Yehezkel, Shlomi Azulay and Vidar Kjartansson had numerous chances early on. Azulay hit the post twice as Kjartansson pounced on the rebound of the second one to score in the 38th minute.

Ofir Davidzada made his Tel Aviv debut in the second half and in the 56th minute Atzily scored his first goal as he put away a rebound from 5 meters out to give the Yellow & Blue a 2:0 advantage. In the 90th minute, Aaron Schoenfeld joined the goal parade after he took a beautiful header pass by Yonatan Cohen and buried the ball behind the Slovakian side’s keeper for a 3:0 victory.
