Maccabi Tel Aviv coach Kenny Miller said his team wanted to respond after a disappointing European result. “We won the Super Cup, reached the Toto Cup final and we wanted to continue our good run of results,” he said. Miller praised the home crowd and Peretz, who he said had made an excellent start to the season through hard work and improved finishing.

Haifa coach Barak Bachar said his side had shown some good moments but lacked aggression. “We could have pressed more and been more aggressive, we could have done a better job against a team like Maccabi Tel Aviv who were coming off a tough loss,” he said. He added that conceding an early penalty changed the match’s direction.

Maccabi Netanya produced the night’s most emphatic result, crushing Beitar Jerusalem 4-1. After a goalless first half, substitute Daniel Worko put Netanya ahead, then Matheus Davo struck three times. Maor Levi also scored, with Oz Bilu assisting on three of the goals.

Coach Roni Levy called it one of Netanya’s best games since he took charge. Hapoel Beersheba completed the reported results with a 2-1 victory over Hapoel Ramat Gan in Rehovot, sealed by Eliel Peretz’s late winner.

It’s the start of the season and we want to play our football.
