Roi Mishpati experienced a night to remember as his man-of-the-match performance against Maccabi Haifa, saw him keep a clean sheet on the way to a 2-0 victory. In his second season at Maccabi, the 31-year-old keeper who spent two seasons at Haifa, enjoyed the victory over his former club: “I had a good spell at Haifa but regardless, I go out at every match in a bid to do my best and show my best form.”
Misphati, whose good form this season wasn’t enough to earn him a call-up to the Israel national team squad, said: “I feel I deserve to be there, but this is nt something for me to answer. I will keep on working hard on the pitch to prove I deserve to be called up.”
On playing in front of almost 20,000 Maccabi fans, Mishpati said: “The atmosphere was electrifying right from the start. It was the first match in almost 6 weeks that we are feeling our fans, which strengthens us and is an amazing feeling. I just hope that we would return to host matches at Bloomfield as soon as possible”.
