^ Maccabi Haifa played their home match at Bloomfield Stadium , Tel Aviv , instead of their regular stadium Kiryat Eliezer Stadium , Haifa , due to UEFA ban on matches outside Tel Aviv area.
^ a b The Maccabi Petah Tikva v Heerenveen first leg, was originally scheduled for 22 September 2004, a week later than the other first round ties due to scheduling issues with Maccabi Tel Aviv 's Champions League group stage home match against Bayern Munich . However, the first leg was later cancelled due to a general strike in Israel. As a result, what was originally the second leg, hosted by Heerenveen, became the sole match of a single-leg tie. In the match, the away goals rule did not apply.[ 5]
