The 1-1 draw against 10-man Bnei Sakhnin at Bloomfield stadium saw Maccabi drop two valuable points in the race for the league title. Goalkeeper, Daniel Peretz, who conceded only his 10th goal in the league this season, admitted: “It is no secret we weren’t at our best today. There are plenty of things we must improve as we must all take a close look at ourselves in the mirror. Improving the little details should come from deep down. We must pick ourselves up and move from here.”
On what didn’t work on the night, Peretz added: “Maybe it is a matter of energies we must improve to be more positive and dominate proceedings on the pitch.”
Knowing that the four-point-gap from the top of the table could be increased to seven, Peretz remained adamant: “We are not out of the title race. There are 16 matches still left to play, and there are plenty of points still left to play for. All the teams are going to drop points, there is the Playoff, and we must remain focused on ourselves from the next game as we believe we are still in this and are capable of coming back.”
