From our football correspondent Triumph

Match

Maccabi Haifa make it 5 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Maccabi Haifa have 5 straight wins of it.

Player ratings

Manuel Benson beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 23. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad

Words at Maccabi Haifa training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jelle Bataille is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

Words exchanged at Maccabi Haifa

Peter Agba and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match

Another one collected away from home

3 on the bounce on the road for Maccabi Haifa. The coaches leave early, arrive at unlovely grounds in the dark, and keep coming home with three points.

Match

Ethane Azoulay sends Maccabi Haifa past Bnei Yehuda

It finished 1‑0, and it was Ethane Azoulay’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Maccabi Haifa.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Ethane Azoulay

Marked 8.16 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad

Maccabi Haifa are still strangers to each other

6 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Squad

Avi David signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Avi David and Maccabi Haifa agree another 3 years.

In brief
