Although Isaak's team lost 5-1, Hayik told Reuters that he was hosting a lot of dangerous balls. One of his sons, Moshe Hayik, considered his father's arrival as "unbelievable". The previous record was held by Uruguayan Robert Carmona, who was part of the Pan de Azucar formation in 2015 at the age of 53.
