Maccabi Haifa missed the chance to go top of Israel's Ligat ha-Al as they were held to a goalless draw by FC Ashdod on Monday evening.
Hard-fought encounter
Haifa could have leapfrogged leaders Hapoel Tel-Aviv with a win but Ashdod dug deep and held their hosts in a hard-fought encounter at the Kiriat Eliezer Municipality stadium.
Goal difference
Haifa join Hapoel Tel-Aviv at the summit on 36 points but continue to trail their rivals on goal difference. Maccabi Tel-Aviv are third, just a point behind the leaders as the Israeli Premier League title chase looks to be a three horse race.
