stadium for the MD25 match away to bottom of the table Hapoel Hadera aiming to bounce back and return to winning ways Maccabi’s Head Coach Zarko Lazetic made three changes from the side which suffered a 1-0 defeat to Maccabi Bnei Reineh at Bloomfield Idan Nachmias was back from his one-match-touchline ban while Tyrese Asante and Issouf Sissokho were both sidelined after collecting five yellow cards Simon Sluga kept his place in goal with Nachmias on his 100th Maccabi appearance partnered Nemanja Stojic as the two central defenders in front of the Croatian goalkeeper Stav Lemkin on the right and Roy Revivo on the left completed Maccabi’s back-four Joris van Overeem replaced Sissokho in the anchorman role just behind Gabi Kanichowsky and Dor Peretz Osher Davida returned to the side at the expense of Henry Addo while Weslley Patati was named on the opposite flank Dor Turgeman led the line aiming to add to his 10 league and 14 in all competitions On the bench Lazetic named goalkeeper Roi Mishpati Boosted by the vocal support of around 5000 travelling fans Maccabi began the match on the front foot enjoying most of the possession In the fifth minute however Hadera crossed the halfway line for the first time only for Simon Sluga to prevent the hosts from taking the lead José Cortés spotted Sluga off his line as he attempted a shot from long range but the Croatian custodian managed to track back before pulling a fingertip save to turn the ball over the crossbar Four minutes later at the opposite end Gabi Kanichowsky sent a dangerous low shot from the edge of the area but Hadera’s keeper Cortez had another close-range header in the 12th minute cleared by Stav Lemkin from the goalmouth and over the bar following a Menashe Zalka free kick But from the resulting corner Hadera took the lead as Lisav Eissat rose above Maccabi’s defense to head Zalka’s corner past Sluga Maccabi kept dominating the possession as Weslley Patati slipped Roy Revivo into the box but the full-back’s attempt of a cross was blocked by Levita Dor Peretz tried a half volley from outside the box but once again Levita was there to punch the ball away While Maccabi kept pushing forward in a bid to level the score a lethal Hadera counterattack in the 26th minute saw the hosts double their lead Cortés turned provider as he burst down the right and sent a square ball which was fired in by James Adeniyi to give Hadera a 2-0 lead Two minutes later Hadera came close to increase their lead even further but the post denied Godsway Donyoh saving Maccabi from conceding a third Maccabi managed to cut the deficit as an initial Osher Davida shot was blocked before his second attempt rolled beyond the reach of Levita to make it 2-1 Lazetic made a double substitution at halftime with Raz Shlomo and Elad Madmon replacing Stav Lemkin and Roy Revivo at the restart Nachmias moved across the defense and pushed to right back while Madmon took up a role alongside Dor Turgeman upfront In the 56th minute a Weslley Patati cross into the area was headed by Peretz but easily collected by Levita who earlier intercepted a Davida square ball Five minutes after the hour mark the Patati and Peretz combination led to Maccabi’s equalizer as the skipper headed in the Brazilian’s corner to go back on level terms In the 75th minute Davida flicked the ball into the path of Dor Turgeman who lost his marker with a drop of the shoulder before snapping a shot which Levita clawed out from under the crossbar Three minutes later Turgeman released Madmon into the box The former Hadera 21-year-old forward who was clear on goal with only Levita to beat was pushed in the back by Eissat before he could get a chance to shoot Referee Ohad Asulin didn’t award a penalty but a couple of minutes later VAR called him to the screen Maccabi were given a penalty with Eissat shown a red card sent Levita the wrong way as he blasted the spot kick into the bottom corner to complete the comeback Lazetic made another double change on 88 as Turgeman and Patati both bowed out and were replaced by Yonas Malede and Ofir Davidzada After the five minutes of added time were finished the full time whistle

one-match suspension he served during the victory over Maccabi Bnei Reineh on Monday also returned to the sidelines Lazetic made several changes from the side that won at Reineh Roi Mishpati kept his place in goal but Roy Revivo made his first start since injuring his knee against Ashdod earlier this season Raz Shlomo and Nemaja Stojic kept their place at the heart of defense with Stav Lemkin completing Maccabi’s defensive line on the right Issouf Sissokho returned to the anchorman role and Ido Shahar who started at right back against Reineh was named in midfield Gabi Kanichowsky completed Maccabi’s midfield engine room while Dor Peretz was allowed to rest on the bench Hisham Layous and Weslley Patati were named by Lazetic as the two wingers with Eran Zahavi leading the line and the team out with the captain’s armband On the bench Lazetic named goalkeeper Simon Sluga A sea of colour and wall of noise welcomed Maccabi’s players on their return to Bloomfield In the 5th Ido Shahar fell to the ground clutching his knee after blocking an opponent Maccabi’s medical staff rushed to attend to the midfielder who recently recovered from a knee injury but after giving him the all clear he returned to the pitch The decision proved itself within a minute as Shahar played his part in Maccabi’s opener in the 8th minute Weslley Patati slipped the ball to Gabi Kanichowsky whose cut back reached Shahar The midfielder didn’t make the best contact as he tempted to direct his shot on target before Eran Zahavi made no mistake as he slotted home the opener Bloomfield stadium erupted as the veteran striker scored his first goal since the 2-1 league victory over Maccabi Netanya on October 6th.  Patati tried his luck with a snap shot from the corner of the area but the ball sailed high over the crossbar In the 27th minute and Hadera were back on level terms against the run of play and in what seemed like their first attack James Adeniyi was given the time and space to carry the ball half the length of the pitch before releasing Godsway Donyho who rifled a low drive that beat Roi Mishpati Shahar came close to restore Maccabi’s lead on 38 as he managed to get on the back of a Kanichowsky cross but saw his close range header bounce over the crossbar Two minutes later however Shahar got his goal as Patati sent a pinpoint cross from the right before the red- headed midfielder buried the ball home to make it 2-1 with his first league goal and 2nd in all competitions this season.  With no changes after the break Maccabi began the second period period just like the first one – pressure on Hadera inside their half Six minutes after the restart a series of flicks between Patati and Revivo left the full back right infront of goal but goalkeeper Ohad Levita spread himself and saved Hadera struggled to clear the danger as Zahavi picked the ball near the corner of the area and sent a powerful dipping shot that narrowly cleared the crossbar Five minutes after the hour mark Lazetic made two substitutions as Shahar and Zahavi bowed out to a standing ovation and were replaced by Dor Peretz and Dor Turgeman Lazetic made two more changes as Elad Madmon replaced Hisham Layous while Osher Davida came on Patati on 77 In the 83rd minute Maccabi were reduced to 10 men as referee Idan Leiba was called to the screen before Issouf Sissokho was shown the red card for a foul on Lior Rokah In the 90th minute Revivo was given his standing ovation as he was replaced by Idan Nachmias for the five minutes of injury The match ended in the most dramatic and controvercial manner Hadera were awarded a free kick before an attempt of a clearance reached Ibrahim Sangare whose volley was saved by a combination of Mishpati and the post Maccabi charged forward for a counter attack and Kanichowsky squared to Davida who fired home But referee Idan Leiba was called to the screen disallowed Davida’s goal and awarded Hadera a penalty at the opposite end for an alleged foul in the area Sangare stepped up and had his penalty saved by Mishpati who tried pushing the ball away but it came off Gilad Abramov and rolled in to end the match in a 2-2 draw A diver was reportedly bitten
