Maccabi Tel Aviv Held to Scoreless Draw by Maccabi Netanya
Maccabi Tel Aviv, aiming to maintain a perfect start to the season, was held to a 0-0 draw by Maccabi Netanya in a league match played on Saturday. The team, which had won its first four games, was looking to extend its winning streak to five matches before the international break, a feat not achieved since the 1993/94 season. However, they were unable to break down Netanya's defense.
Maccabi Tel Aviv's lineup saw a late change as Tyris Asante replaced Ali Camara due to a muscle sensitivity issue. Manager Robbie Keane had hoped to field the same starting eleven. Dor Peretz was also aiming to match a league record by scoring in his 11th consecutive appearance.
Maccabi Netanya, managed by Roni Levi, sought to rebound from a disappointing 2-0 loss in their previous outing. New signings Ilon Almog and Isaac were on the bench, while Maor Levy and Bassam Zaarura started for the home team.
The match, held at the Netanya Stadium, saw an early chance for Maccabi Netanya when Varela set up Sisoko, whose powerful shot from 20 yards was saved by Maccabi Tel Aviv goalkeeper Slavko. The first half concluded without any goals.
In another league fixture, Hapoel Tel Aviv defeated Hapoel Petah Tikva 3-0.
