Match report
Maccabi Kabliyo Yaffo lost 0-2 to Maccabi Bnei Rayna in the sixth round of the Liga Leumit. The visitors came from Tel Aviv to Haifa and took all three points on Thursday evening. It was a straightforward afternoon, really.
The match stayed level until the sixtieth minute. Then G. Diomande struck in the sixty-fourth, and Y. Sason doubled the lead two minutes later. By then, Kabliyo Yaffo had no way back — and here's the thing, it wasn't even a close contest.
The hosts had their chances but couldn't convert. Four shots on target without crossing the line — that's the kind of day where luck isn't on your side. The visitors were sharper, more clinical when it mattered.
Statistics tell part of the story. The guests registered 106 attacks against 92, and their eight shots on target versus four shows the difference in quality. Possession was even at fifty-three to forty-seven per cent, but shots decided it.
This result moves Maccabi Bnei Rayna further clear of trouble. They sit sixth with nine points after five games, while Kabliyo Yaffo remain fifteenth with just three. The gap is growing.
The visitors have won three of their five fixtures so far, including victories over Maccabi Ahi Nazareth and Hapoel Afula. Kabliyo Yaffo's form has been inconsistent — a win against Afula followed by defeats to five different sides. This afternoon sealed their struggle.
