After a second coronavirus break, the Israeli Premier League resumed with a match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Be’er Sheva. The goalless draw has put in doubt the team’s ability to return after the lockdown weeks.
With Nagorno-Karabakh in the background, Maccabi Tel Aviv hosted Qarabağ in the Europa League first matchday. With politics surrounding the Azeri team, it was Maccabi who took things to their own control.
Hapoel Be’er Sheva suffered from three weeks under a nationwide lockdown and a coronavirus breakout in the squad. They recovered tonight with a tremendous win, 3-1 against Slavia Praha.
Slavia Praha is kicking off another Europa League group stage appearance. In their best era ever, the success is mainly thanks to their current owner, two Chinese companies, that have bigger goals than just winning the Czech title.
Israel was about to complete a bad week, but Eran Zahavi was once again the one to lead the national team. Would he keep his scoring record in the next matches?
