Abu Farchi's early header started the Tiraspol win
Maccabi's 5–0 first-leg win began with Abu Farchi heading in Ido Shahar's cross inside the opening five minutes. The match was played at Sheriff's Main Arena in Tiraspol, where Maccabi quickly established the advantage that defined the tie.
A 1–0 return victory completed six unanswered goals against Sheriff. That comfortable qualification did not guarantee a league-phase place: the following CSKA tie required a different comeback, which fell short. The two rounds show why the July five-goal win and the later elimination are both part of Maccabi's season.
The CSKA comeback fell one goal short
