Gil Cohen, grade: 7
Great defensive play, always in the right place, helped Ashdod keep a clean sheet
Jordan Botaka, score: 3
As much as the expectation – the size of the disappointment. The winger was ineffective in the offensive part and did not help his team
MS Ashdod hosted Hapoel Jerusalem this evening (Sunday) in Teddi as part of the 35th round and went up 0:1 after not winning in the last seven games. The Reds, for their part, can be disappointed with their fourth loss in a row, when they could lose fourth place to Maccabi Netanya.
The game started at a slow pace with both teams mainly trying to hold onto the ball and not often getting into situations. Guy Badash woke up for the Reds and performed good actions on the right wing, but was unable to score. The team from the opposite port did not appear and only near the end of the half threatened Omar Kabilo’s goal when Mogis Zakaria was close to scoring.
In the second half, Ran Ben Shimon’s apprentices continued their improved ability and in the 60th minute, a great action by Roi Levy on the left wing ended with a great pass to Elad Shaf who came from the second line and hit the net. The Jerusalemites tried to return until the end, but without success.
Now, Ziv Aryeh’s apprentices have deepened the crisis and, as mentioned, they can drop to fifth place if Maccabi Netanya, which also has 45 points, gets points against Maccabi Haifa. On the other hand, MS Ashdod broke a streak of four losses, with 43 points in sixth place and returned to the fight for fourth place.
