The third round of the Premier League opened tonight (Saturday) when Hapoel Haifa finally reached the season when it recorded a debut victory with a celebration and an unequivocal 0:4 against Hapoel Jerusalem in Sami Ofer.
The protest against Yoav Katz, the insufficient ability and the many difficulties – it was a bad start to the season for the Haifaites, but it seems that they managed to come back from the break with a new spirit and hope to put everything behind them.
The game opened with an exciting ceremony on the part of both teams in memory of the late Hirsch Goldberg-Poland, when immediately after the host’s fans replaced the signs of the ceremony with signs of protest against Katz, which continued this time with full force.
The match itself began with a storm. Already after four minutes Guy Melamed scored for the host, when in the 18th minute he had already completed a double. Even though the Jerusalemites dominated the ball, Hapoel Haifa was incredibly purposeful and used their advantages excellently.
Even before the break, Dmitri Antilevski went for a free kick that caused the Almagor fan to deflect the ball into his own goal in a bizarre own goal that gave 0:3. Dor Hogi came off the bench in the 66th minute and within a minute Laliran Sardel scored the fourth that sealed the celebration.
In the 78th minute it got even worse for the Jerusalemites, when Andre Idoku was sent off with a straight red card and they were left with only one point after two league games and will meet Maccabi Tel Aviv in a make-up meeting from the first round in the next game. On the other hand, Levy’s team will go to Maccabi Pat in the hope of continuing to win.
