Head in the ground: KS squeezed a dramatic 1: 1 from Hapoel

Outstanding Actor


Ofek Bitton, Score: 7
The point of light despite the loss of points. Great game in the center of the field and a goal that almost arranged a victory. This is how a fan who wears the red shirt plays

The disappointing actor


Guy Ben Lulu, Score: 5
He should have taken more advantage of the opportunity he received from Kobe Medicine

Hapoel Tel Aviv does not stop surprising, but in most cases this season, not really for the better. The Reds hosted Kiryat Shmona in Bloomfield tonight (Sunday) and finished with a dramatic 1: 1 after suffering a draw in the 94th minute. In doing so, the Reds missed an opportunity to rise above the red line and dropped an advantage as they often do recently.

The Reds certainly expected more of themselves, probably when they came after the 0: 1 victory over Betar Jerusalem in Teddy, but did not manage to reach enough dangerous situations against the team of ex Kobi Refuah, who was not far from leading in the first minutes after Roi Kehat squeezed a huge save from Ernests Shtakos. Nir Klinger’s team did get into situations until the break, but they were not of sufficient quality and the host just did not play with enough enthusiasm.

By the second half the story was already different. The host came up with the goal of finding the goal, and after a few threats from Osher Davida who later got tired, it was Ofek Bitton who found the net with a flat and accurate ball to the corner in his first appearance in the lineup. A few minutes later the connection was also injured and replaced, and unfortunately his friends screwed up right at the last minute.

During the last offensive of the match, Abdullah Halihal infiltrated the field and managed to kick a ball wide in close to the connections to split the points in the 94th minute. Klinger’s team can feel a huge miss, but they failed to kill the game and Kiryat Shmona was definitely worth a point.

This is the fifth game in a row that Hapoel Tel Aviv has won first, but like most previous times, this time too it failed to maintain the advantage. The Reds missed an opportunity to climb above the red line, while on the other hand the northern momentum was interrupted, but it is a sweet equality that will surely give a boost to the future.
