Maccabi Haifa experienced a complete collapse on Saturday, suffering a resounding 4-0 loss to Maccabi Netanya at Sammy Ofer Stadium. The defeat marks Haifa's third consecutive loss and comes after a period where they were considered strong contenders.
Despite starting the match with high pressure and creating several chances, including a shot that hit the post by Kenny Saief, Maccabi Haifa failed to score. The turning point came early in the second half when an own goal by Andrea Novkovic in the 47th minute opened the scoring for Netanya.
Netanya extended their lead in the 71st minute with a spectacular goal from Oz Bilo, assisted by a long pass from goalkeeper Samo Silva, who then went on to assist two more goals. Nadav Nidam added a third goal from outside the box in the 87th minute, and Eilon Almog sealed the victory in the 89th minute, with Matheus Dabo providing the assists for the final two goals.
The loss leaves Maccabi Haifa with significant issues to address during the upcoming international break, particularly their shaky defense. They will look to rebound in their next match against Bnei Sakhnin. Maccabi Netanya, on the other hand, heads into the break with a confident victory, showcasing their potential and will host Hapoel Be'er Sheva upon their return.
