Maccabi Tel Aviv tonight (Thursday) recorded one of its best games in a European framework when it defeated Olympiakos 1:4 in Piraeus in a purposeful display of football. Eran Zahavi scored a double, Dor Peretz and Ido Shahar also scored for the yellows. Appropriately for a game of this magnitude, these are the scores of the Maccabi Tel Aviv players.
graze my lips: Showed why he is the top goalkeeper in Maccabi Tel Aviv. Recorded five saves including one very important one at the beginning of the second half. 6.
Ido Shahar: Hard work and patience pays off sometimes. The midfielder was shifted to the right back position from where he works wonders. He was one of the most prominent players in Maccabi Tel Aviv’s display this evening and was also honored with the second goal. 8.
Age of Nehemiah: It took Robbie Keane a while, but he realized that the combination of Baltexa and Enrique Saborit would not be as good as two stoppers who each play with one dominant foot. Good play by the brakeman, who brought a lot of responsibility. 6.
Enrique Saburit: The Spaniard is back from injury and although he is not as sharp as before, he brings with him a lot of experience and it was the same this time. 7.
Roy Rebbeau: Made some good moves and released Felicio Milson to do wonders on the left wing. 7.
Joris van Overeem: The owner of Maccabi Tel Aviv in Kishore provided another perfect performance. He was everywhere in the back and also contributed quite a bit in the front. 9.
A burst generation: Not a bad game at all by the midfielder, who once morest a strong team showed his defensive qualities alongside the movement to the free areas in the box which also led to the goal he scored. 8.
Gabi Kanikowski: Since he got a permanent place in the Maccabi Tel Aviv lineup, the midfielder has no weak games. The assist for Peretz was an addition to his tremendous game. 8.
Osher David: After a long period, Keen finally decided to play with a real winger on the left side and David enjoyed it very much. 8.
Felicio Milson: What else can be said regarding one of the most important players of Maccabi Tel Aviv this season? Since he returned from the Africa Championship, Maccabi Tel Aviv looks different and his two goals were a taste of what he knows how to do. 10.
Eran Zehavi: Does anyone remember that number 7 of Maccabi Tel Aviv suffered from a drought? Zahavi returned to punching nets and once more celebrated Olympiakos as only he knows how. 10.
