Maccabi Tel Aviv kicked off the 2026/27 season with a commanding 3-1 victory against Hapoel Be'er Sheva at Toto Turner Stadium on Thursday, securing their ninth Champion of Champions title in club history. The yellow-clad fans created a vibrant home atmosphere, celebrating with the players for over an hour after the match. Despite missing several key players, Maccabi dominated most of the game, showcasing excellent performance throughout.
Sgib Yehizkel starred with three assists, while Said Abu Farhi scored twice and repeatedly troubled Be'er Sheva's defense. Maccabi's defense also performed strongly. Even after Roy Revivo was sent off in the 68th minute with Maccabi leading 2-1, the team, coached by Kenny Miller, maintained composure and sealed the win with a third goal four minutes later on a swift counterattack.
The victory came less than two months after Maccabi's State Cup win over the same opponent, making this triumph particularly sweet. A Maccabi player commented, "It was an incredible game for us; we showed superiority in every aspect on the field, and everyone saw it. Miller taught Kozuch a lesson with a half squad. There's no better way to start the season."
Despite the success, the coaching staff continues to seek reinforcements, especially for the attack and defense. The club hopes to make progress on transfers next week, with a defender expected to join soon. Maccabi is also eager to retain Amir Sehiti and aims to reach an agreement in the coming days.
