Maccabi Tel Aviv opened up an eight-point gap at the top of the TASE Premier League on Monday following their 2-1 win over Hapoel Ra’anana at Bloomfield, with striker Omer Atzili, who is in red-hot form, scoring both goals in the second half.
He was the fans’ natural choice as Factory 54 Man of the Match, receiving more than 90 percent of the votes. One of the participants in the vote who chose Atzili will win Hugo Boss shirts as a gift of sponsors Factory 54.
“It feels wonderful to play as well as this and I hope that I will have more performances like this,” Atzili said after being informed of the fans’ choice.
“There are no easy games this season but it’s good that we managed to take the points even in a game when we didn’t play well and we will have to learn from this experience. I think that on Saturday (against Hapoel Haifa) we will be a better team,” he added.
