In a pulsating first-leg affair in Israel last week, Maccabi Haifa now travel over to Serbia holding a one-goal advantage heading into Tuesday’s second leg against Crvena Zvezda, with the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League proper the prize on the line for both teams in this one.
Maccabi Haifa started the brighter of the two teams last week with Frantzdy Pierrot scoring the opening goal after just 18 minutes as the Israeli champions poured on the pressure early.
However, Crvena Zvezda responded emphatically, scoring two goals of their own before the break to set up a blistering second half which saw Maccabi Haifa go all out for the win, something they achieved shortly after half-time with goals from Pierrot again and Tjarron Chery to head to Belgrade on Tuesday knowing a draw will be enough here to see them advance.
