Maccabi Haifa has continued its tradition of scoring from set pieces, a tactic that was a hallmark of the team under former coach Barak Bakhar. Guy Weizinger, who was instrumental in developing this strategy as the goalkeeping coach, has since departed, but the team's effectiveness from dead-ball situations persists.
This season, Maccabi Haifa has scored seven goals originating from set pieces, including two penalty kicks. Bruninho has been a key contributor, assisting six of these goals, though he is not the sole architect of their success.
The team's set-piece goals have been distributed across several matches. One goal came from a corner kick rebound against Hapoel Ramat Gan, with Bruninho scoring after waiting outside the box. Against Maccabi Tel Aviv, Eitan Azulai converted a penalty. Steifman scored from a corner delivery against Kiryat Shmona, and a penalty earned by Novakovic and scored by Kangi Gura was the result against Ironi Tiberias.
Further examples include a corner kick routine against Hapoel Jerusalem, initiated by Bruninho and finished by Novakovic. In a match against Maccabi Petah Tikva, Kenny Saif assisted Eitan Azulai's first goal from a corner, and Bruninho assisted Steifman's second goal, also from a corner.
