Dolev Haziza runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 53. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Maccabi Netanya did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Tempers go at Maccabi Netanya
Samu was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Wylan Cyprien falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Bnei Yehuda watching Pedrinho
The interest is real enough to have reached print. Maccabi Netanya have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Matheus Davó was the difference for Maccabi Netanya
Marked 7.08. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Sai Van Wermeskerken left out for tactical reasons at Maccabi Netanya
The shape wanted a different profile against this opponent, which is a real football answer and no comfort at all to the man it is about. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

No goals between Maccabi Netanya and Maccabi Petach Tikva
Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Maccabi Petach Tikva will be the happier side with the point.
In brief
- Squad Sai Van Wermeskerken still has not settled
- Market Maccabi Netanya put Hernán Paredes up for sale
