Maccabi Haifa took full advantage of defensive tampering by the Buffaloes. Ghent continues to look for a first victory in 2024.

AA Gent remains in the corner where the blows fall. However, Hein Vanhaezebrouck aimed for improvement with three interventions: Sonko made his debut in the starting line-up, while Roef and Gandelman were preferred to Schmidt and Hong.

Before the break, Vanhaezebrouck saw his team claim the initiative and Sonko in particular made a few positive appearances, but creating goal danger proved to be very difficult for the Buffaloes. On the other side, Roef was not tested much either. 0-0 was the score at half time.

Vanhaezebrouck brought Depoitre for Sonko after the break. The first Ghent goal was not long in coming, but after a nice collective attack, Gandelman decided on Keouf. On the other hand, it did not always look solid at the back at AA Gent. After Brown initially failed to attend, Roef also intervened a little later, unsure.

It mainly showed the unrest and tense nerves among the Buffaloes, who absolutely wanted to avoid another defeat. In the meantime, there was a growing feeling at Maccabi Haifa that there was more to it than a fair draw. The signal for coach Degu to throw Saief and Refaelov into the fight.

Ghent found it more difficult to put together a full-fledged attack and when Gerkens lost the ball too easily, Pierrot appeared face to face with Roef. The former Mouscron striker did not miss this opportunity. For a moment the line judge seemed to save the Buffalos, but the VAR waved away the appeal for offside and rightly approved the goal.

The Buffalos desperately looked for the equalizer and Hong came to relieve the unfortunate Gerkens. Haifa now leaned back emphatically, but all in all remained upright easily. The Israelis got away well with a good attempt by Gandelman. Vanhaezebrouck’s troops launched a strong final offensive, but in the end Ghent suffered its sixth defeat of 2024 in Budapest. Next Wednesday, the Buffaloes will have to work hard to prevent European elimination. That will have to be without De Sart, who took a third yellow card. (ssg)

Where symphonies and orchestral pieces should have been heard, now only the dripping of water against the floor resounds. Flooding has returned to the Palau de la Música, specifically, in the staff entrance area, in the cafeteria and in the orchestra’s dressing rooms. Last week there were already leaks in the same area, and all after repairs that have cost 12 million euros and have forced the emblematic auditorium to be closed for four years.

“The abandonment of functions by the previous Compromís and PSPV team is unfortunate, which not only did not project a comprehensive reform of the Palau, but also left actions to avoid these problems in the drawer,” municipal sources have pointed out.

From the Valencia City Council they affirm that the municipal orchestra must have “decent facilities”. “No one from the previous government was concerned about it, which shows the lack of sensitivity of Compromís and the Socialist Party,” they say: “They are only dedicated to making proclamations in favor of culture but at the moment of truth they do nothing for it ».

The mayoress of Valencia, María José Catalá, already showed last Friday her “disappointment” because the works projected by the previous government were not enough. «From the first moment the PP requested a comprehensive audit to find out the state of the Palau, but Compromís and PSOE did not want to and now we find ourselves with problems that could have been solved because the Palau has been closed for 4 years, more than enough time to carry out works that will avoid current leaks,” he said.

In the two months that the new government has been in place, new decisions have had to be made at the Palau de la Música that the previous team did not consider as a modification of the work of 300,000 euros to reupholster 1,700 seats (Compromís only provided for 20), approve an expense of 17,000 euros to condition the bathrooms and an audit is already being processed so that the technicians point out what problems the Palau presents in order to solve them, without affecting the Palau’s programming.
