Maccabi Haifa Fans Question Refereeing After Draw With Kiryat Shmona
Maccabi Haifa fans are debating whether the team was wronged by the referee during their match against Ironi Kiryat Shmona on Monday evening. Approximately 30 minutes into the game, a cross from Maccabi Haifa player Raz Fraz entered the penalty area. During the play, it appeared that Nemanja Ljubisavljevic, a Kiryat Shmona player, may have touched the ball with his hand, potentially altering its trajectory. However, the referee, Aviv Klein, did not award a penalty, and the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) team did not intervene. The incident has sparked discussion among fans, with the sports outlet Sport 5 posing the question to its audience via a poll. The match ultimately ended without a decisive outcome regarding this specific incident.
