Ghana international, Patrick Twumasi put up a top performance on Monday night to help his club, Maccabi Netanya to beat Maccabi Tel-Aviv 2-1 in the Israeli top-flight league.

The talented attacker started for his club today in the Round 22 encounter of the ongoing Israeli Premier League.

The home team took the lead in the 56th minute when Liran Rotman found the back of the Maccabi Tel-Aviv net with a fine strike.

While Maccabi Tel-Aviv will equalise through Eran Zahavi in the 87th minute, it was not enough to save the visitors from the 2-1 defeat at full time.
