Maccabi Tel Aviv captain Sheran Yeini delivered his verdict after the disappointing goalless draw against Beitar Jerusalem at Teddy Stadium on Monday and said the players did not perform to their best abilities.

“This is not a game that is typical of our play and I think the same can be said of Beitar Jerusalem. This was a placid encounter and we didn’t create many chances, Beitar had a few more. It’s a pity because we wanted to continue our momentum from the last two wins.”

“I think we prepared for a different game against Beitar We expected them to press us more and allow us more space but they stayed back. We tried to adjust our play but it wasn’t enough. We will learn from this game and we will be ready for the next fixtures.”
