When Haim Silves was appointed coach of Hapoel Hadera in mid-January, the team was below the red line and with only 14 points following 17 rounds. Tonight (Saturday) he assured her a seventh season in a row in the Premier League following a 1:2 away victory over Maccabi Netanya and accumulating 22 points in 15 games. Elad Madmon, the discovery and MVP of Hadera this season, will be able to move to Maccabi Tel Aviv quietly in the summer following scoring the goal to stay from the penalty spot in the 52nd minute.
Netanya already survived two rounds ago and arrived calm, but recorded a second consecutive loss and will reach the final round when she is below her room in the table. She ended her home games with a single draw (1:1 once morest Bnei Rayna in the opening round and no less than 10 losses, including eight in the last nine. Hadera did not need to hear what was happening in Bloomfield at all, she did her part as mentioned and next week she will be the one to say goodbye to Po’el Tel Aviv who went up with her in 2018 and now went down to the national once more.
The series of seasons in the Premier League continues. Hapoel Hadera players celebrate Shlomi Gabai
Hadera’s great staying celebrations were only marred by the injury of captain Menashe Zalka, who returned from reserve duty specifically to help his team in the fateful game and insisted on not going to the hospital despite a worrying injury in the 72nd minute. He was one of the key players in Hadera’s escape from the red line, when, apart from him, Godsway Donio and Ruslan Barsky were also injured today, and the suspended James Adeniyi was also absent.
the progress of the game
The underground game in Netanya got underway. Donio injured his knee already at the start and needed treatment following a series of Netanya corners. It was Bar Cohen who picked up a good ball from the left side, the free tanko hit the ground from close range and almost the first goal of Hadera: Zalka picked up a good ball from the right side and Barsky deflected it into the frame, but Niraon’s header to the Donio corner was hit once more and this time he mightn’t continue, Twizer came in his place for Hadera’s attack Rokach almost surprised with a debut goal, but his shot from six meters following Schulmeister’s level went over the Netanya goal 0:1 to Hapoel Hadera! Tweezer launched an attack following stealing a ball, Barsky handed it to Damon who passed Ben Shabbat easily and was stopped by Niraon, but the rebound went to Tweezer who rolled into the open net Maccabi Netanya equalized 1:1 in extra time of the half! A nice exchange of passes in the attack ended with the preparation of Billo for Bar Cohen, who turned and kicked a flat and not strong ball that subdued Herman Tenko. He was once more replaced at the break, as in the previous meeting with Hadera: Rothman in his place, a penalty for Hapoel Hadera! Rekha kicked a flat ball from a distance, Niraon’s header was not good enough and Schulmeister charged at the rebound before the goalkeeper failed him and saw a yellow card 1:2 to Hapoel Hadera! Medemon approached the penalty spot, misled Niraon and celebrated his 12th goal of the season in the league. Second substitute in Maccabi Netanya: Plekoshchenko came on instead. Anu Tweizer almost completed a brace, but Niraon headed his missile into the corner. Injured in a difficult way and turned up on a stretcher, Labavidi entered in his place, Netanya put in Salman and Avraham instead of Billo, and Uamo Madmon once more easily passed Ben Shabbat, but from 16 meters with a kick high above the goal Barsky was injured in her room and Trost entered in his place, Burar also replaced the last substitute pharmacist of Netanya: Mizrahi instead of Ben Shabbat another opportunity for Tweezer to close the story and celebrate a double, but he kicked from a good position in the box and Niraon headed Bar Cohen almost equalized once more, but following the two mistakes he kicked a ball that hit the yellow crossbar for Jaber and Ido Levy the goalkeeper Herman wasted time and saw a card Yellow Azoulay also joined the list of the yellow ones. That’s it, the battle for the bottom has been decided: Hapoel Hadera survived with 1:2 over Maccabi Netanya and Hapoel Tel Aviv is the second relegated following a home loss to MS. Ashdod
