With the drop to the first half in Bloomfield today (Saturday) at noon, Maccabi Tel Aviv fans reacted with boos to their team, which is trailing 2:1 against Maccabi Petah Tikva in the game that opened the 15th round of the Premier League.
Going into the first half behind at home is not a trivial thing for Maccabi Tel Aviv. The last one that managed to do this was Maccabi Haifa in January of this year, when they also won 0:1 with a goal by Lior Rafalov. Maccabi Haifa is also the last to score two goals in the first half against the Yellows, in a 0:2 victory at Sami Ofer with goals from Lorenzo Shimich and Dean David last May.
In Bloomfield, the last to score two goals in the first half for the champion’s net was actually its city rival, Hapoel Tel Aviv, but then it was only about equalizing the score – from 2:0 to 2:2. Maccabi Pet, in fact, is the first to go into halftime with a lead in Bloomfield since Bnei Sakhnin in February 2023, when Guy Melamed scored the winning goal and Eran Zahavi equalized in the second half.
The star of the first half, Maccabi Petah Tikva, is in the ideal result for her against Maccabi Tel Aviv. The last league win for her was 1:2, in the first round of the 2020/21 season, with goals from Yanon Eliyahu and Liel Abda. Itai Schechter only temporarily equalized from Yonatan Cohen’s cooking. The victory before that, in May 2017, also ended with the result 1:2. If she scores another goal, she will do something that hasn’t happened since August 2007, when she won 3:2 in Moshava.
