Ophir Davidzada, the Maccabi Tel Aviv defender summed up up squad’s 4:0 win over Hapoel Acre in the State Cup Round of 16 after returning from an injury and recorded an assist on the first goal:
“I waited a long time for this and I’m happy to have returned to the pitch. There’s no better way to come back than assisting on a goal and winning an important match to further our goals this season.”
About returning to Maccabi this season:
“Maccabi was always in the picture even after I finished by first chapter here with the club. Gent wanted me back but things didn’t really work there. Maccabi was always serious and as soon as I had my player card I went right to Maccabi.”
The club’s success to date:
“Were all on the same page. It doesn’t matter who starts or comes off oft get bench everyone wants to give their all for the team. Competition is healthy and you can see it on the pitch and I’m sure that will continue the rest of the season.”
How the competition in the squad adds to the team:
“You can see the results on the pitch. It doesn’t matter who plays because they’ll give 100% and if not they will find themselves with a problem.”
Going for all of the titles:
“Every coach has his own style. Ivic is an incredible coach who knows how to place his players on the pitch. It’s up to us this season and we want to win all of the titles and I hope that it will happen.”
Maccabi Tel Aviv advanced to the quarter finals of the Israel State Cup with 4:0 victory over Hapoel Acre. First half goals by Dor Micha, Yonatan Cohen and Eliran Atar and a second half strike by Cohen to complete his brace helped the Yellow & Blue to the win.

The Yellow & Blue broke the deadlock in the 12’ when Davidzada who was making his return after being out with an injury crossed the ball from the left side to Micha in the box as #15 put it home for a 1:0 advantage.
Chico and Atar’s 15’ give and go resulted in the latter putting the ball over the bar while Cohen’s through ball to Ofoedu in the 19’ was caught by the Acre keeper Antman.

Rajkovic was tested twice in the 75’ by Eliyahu but was up to the task as Dor Peretz entered the match in 77’ replacing Davidzada.
Cohen completed a brace in the 79’ when he took a Rikan misfire, turned in the box and slammed the ball home for a 4:0 advantage. Rikan’s 82’ blast was just tipped over the bar by Antman while Rajkovic made a diving stop in the 85’ to keep the clean sheet intact for the 4:0 win.
Maccabi Tel Aviv will host Hapoel Acre in the State Cup Round of 16 at the Netanya Stadium. The Leumit outfit surprised Cup holders Hapoel Haifa 1:0 last round to earn a date with the Yellow & Blue.
Maccabi Tel Aviv ended the Derby in a dramatic 1:1 draw this past Monday night and will look to get back onto the winning track. The Yellow & Blue moved into the Round of 16 with a 2:1 win over Beitar Jerusalem. Yonatan Cohen looked ahead to Thursday’s match:
“We can’t take any State Cup match lightly as we saw surprises yesterday and in other rounds. Anyone who takes their foot off the gas in a Cup match will be punished. Anything can happen in this type of match but we will come prepared to win the game and advance to the next round.”
The thrill of victory:
“There wasn’t a lot of time since the last match but that’s good for us as we didn’t defeat Hapoel. When we don’t win we really miss out on experiencing the victory. We are going into tomorrow’s match to win.”
Exciting competition:
“The State Cup is an exciting competition and many don’t have the opportunity to win it but we will go into the contest focused and ready to go to record the win.”
