The parking lot around Bloomfield Stadium, a rare commodity in Hapoel Tel Aviv games, was completely vacant, the fans who decided to come to the game did not talk about Nir Klinger's composition or past memories of the Cup games, but only about the Corona. An hour before the game, half an hour before the game, and until the whistle to open, the orange crowd was only interested in the outbreak of the virus.

A number of individual fans among the 3,000 who arrived even wore masks and presents at Gate 5 The red crowd did not miss the opportunity to tease the urban rival Maccabi Tel Aviv: "Come on Maccabi for isolation, Maccabi for isolation," Hapoel fans sang, in light of the fact that the Corona patient was a fan of the group present at the gate 8 in the last derby match between the two teams.

Whether or not related to all the talk about the Corona, neither Tel Aviv nor fresh appeared in the first half. Both teams featured very mediocre football with very few situations. With the opening of the second half Emmanuel Boateng brought Nir Klinger's team to a quick lead and at this stage it looked like this game was in the hands of the host, but Raanana did not raise hands. Eugene Anse's goal was disqualified after the screen referee intervened, but after the test, Yigal Freed awarded Pendel a guest, the same solar era translated into the parity gate that extended the game.

A bizarre incident occurred during the second half when striker Omar Damari, replaced by Nir Klinger, sat down on the bench and corresponded with his mobile device, and this event was unlikely to go unnoticed by the professional staff.

Hapoel wanted to decide the game by extension as quickly as possible and not be dragged into a Pendel duel and started sitting on Niv Altman's gate. Anse's red card only increased the pressure of the Reds and then it was Captain Spirowski's turn, who was given a rest on the bench but jumped to save the situation, which scored a great goal, arranging to run the card for the first semifinal since 2012.
