Ghanaian midfielder Elvis Sakyi was again in sensational form as Maccabi Petach Tikva recorded an important 2-1 away win over Hapoel Haifa on Tuesday night in the Israeli Premier League.
The Ghanaian international was a delight to watch throughout the game as he bossed the midfield with some excellent passes and ball distribution as his side left the Sami Ofer Stadium in all three points.
Nigerian forward William Agada gave the host a 1-0 lead with a fine strike after 23 minutes into the game as the first half ended 1-0 in favor of Hapoel Haifa.
Back from break, Maccabi Petach Tikva upped their game and started piling incessant pressure on Hapoel Haifa and finally got the equalizer in the 84th minute through Tai Baribo.
Just as Hapoel Haifa thought they had shared the spoils in the game, Israeli attacker Liel Abada hit the back of the net in the 90th-minute mark to snatch a late win for the visitors.
Sakyi, 24, has so far this campaign played 15 out of 17 games for Maccabi Petach Tikva who currently sits third on the league log with 29 points after playing 17 matches.
