ILUT, Israel (Dec. 27, 2025) (Interstat) — MH Maccabi Haifa delivered a stunning and historic performance Saturday, thrashing host MK Maccabi Akhi Nazareth 8-1 in a State Cup Women’s match at Ilut Stadium. The result defied overwhelming pre-game projections that heavily favored Nazareth. Interstat’s simulator had predicted a 2-0 Nazareth victory, and its ELO system gave the home side a 73.3% probability to win. Haifa dismantled those forecasts immediately, with Dolev Haziz scoring in the sixth and 17th minutes. Guy Melamed added two more goals before halftime, part of a relentless offensive display. The visitors’ eight-goal outburst marked a dominant start to their cup campaign, improving their record across all competitions to 1-0. Nazareth fell to 0-1.
