Beitar Jerusalem's four-game winning streak ended Monday with a 0-0 draw against Maccabi Tel Aviv at Teddy Stadium. The result leaves Beitar Jerusalem four points behind Maccabi Tel Aviv in the league standings. Coach Almog Cohen expressed his disappointment, stating, "I am disappointed, at Teddy I want to win. I was not happy at all with this draw. We did everything to win, both teams had excellent chances."
Cohen acknowledged the performance of goalkeeper Miguel Silva and noted the team's young players' eagerness to score. He felt that substitutions brought more boldness but less order to their play. The coach added that the team is playing more intensely and dynamically than earlier in the season, creating more opportunities as they progress.
Despite the draw, Cohen believed Beitar Jerusalem had better chances than Maccabi Tel Aviv, though he admitted they were fortunate when Dor Peretz missed an opportunity. He also commented on a moment of disarray that benefited Maccabi Tel Aviv, a team he described as very high quality. Cohen asserted that Beitar Jerusalem controlled the game until the substitutions were made.
An incident occurred just before halftime when Yarden Shua and Bryan Carvallí argued over who would take a free kick. Other players intervened, and Shua ultimately took the kick, sending it into the box. When asked about the dispute, Cohen stated he hadn't discussed it in the locker room, emphasizing clarity in the team's expectations. He suggested that Carvallí might have taken the kick if it were closer to the goal, but if it were further away, Shua would clearly take it.
