A dignified goodbye to the Cup

Carlos Cuéllar´s Maccabi Petah Tikva could not overcome the adverse result of the first leg, but they fought until the last minute. In the second leg of the quarterfinals of the Israeli State Cup, lost to Maccabi Tel Aviv (2-1). The 0-1 of the first leg was a major obstacle, although Carlos and his team-mates put the rivals into trouble for many minutes.

In the 34th minute, Cuéllar cleared an opportunity for the local team; after a corner kick, the center-back cleared a loose ball in the area to prevent a powerful shot to reach the goal. At half time the score was 0-0. The goals came in the second half. Maccabi Tel Aviv struck first, but Melamed equalized in the 54th minute. From that moment on, the visitors had chances to have opted for the qualification. However, in the last minutes, the local team scored the second goal after a penalty shot.

After the elimination, Maccabi Petah Tikva will focus on the League, where they are making a great season. This Sunday they will face Hapoel Kfar Saba from the third position in the table.
