Roy Revivo scored his second league goal in the 3-0 victory at Bloomfield that kicked-off Maccabi’s Playoff. After the match which saw Maccabi restore the gap from Hapoel Be’ersheva to one point, the 21-year-old full back gave credit to Emily Damari who received an emotional welcome at Bloomfield. Revivo reflected on the emotional ceremony for Damari and Romi Gonen that set Bloomfield alight as he said: “I wish that all the hostages will return home safely and as soon as possible.” Revivo then gave credit to Damari as he added: “In my opinion Emily scored the first goal as she gave us so much motivation” before adding: “I spoke to her briefly before the match as she sent a relative of mine a message ‘I am urging you to score'”
On the importance of the victory against Haifa that sent Maccabi to the international break on a high: “It was very important to narrow the gap from Hapoel Be’ersheva as we all want to win the championship – this is what Maccabi is all about”.
