The 30-year-old midfielder who helped Maccabi record their first victory of the season over Maccabi Netanya, said at the end of the game: “We would like to win in every game. We didn’t enjoy the best start to the Playoffs, as a Maccabi player I can clearly say that we want to win every game until the end of the season and hope we will do so”.

On the victory over Netanya that beat both Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Be’ersheva in recent weeks, Golasa added: “Netanya are an excellent side as we expected a tough match. The energies in the second half made the difference – we were more energetic and I am delighted we ultimately won”.
