Week 22 brings us a match on Feb 12th, where Ashdod and Hapoel Be’er Sheva will play a match in Ashdod in a meeting of these two Ligat ha’Al teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 14 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. Ashdod sits at 9th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-6 blowout loss against Maccabi Haifa. Omer Atzili scored the first goal for Maccabi Haifa in the 7th minute, then Omer Atzili added another in the 19th minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Ashdod couldn’t manage to score, and Maccabi Haifa took the shutout win. Ashdod is looking for direction having 4 win and 6 losses in their last 10 matches, while hapoel Be’er Sheva is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Maccabi Netanya. Aviv Avraham struck first for Maccabi Netanya in the 57th minute on a feed from Karem Jaber, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Hapoel Be’er Sheva was frustrated by Maccabi Netanya’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Maccabi Netanya ended the match with the shutout victory. With 21 points in their last 10 matches Hapoel Be’er Sheva should be reasonably happy with their performance.
