Hapoel Tel Aviv is well aware that the big victory in the cup over Hapoel Ashkelon is not a measure of the league, given the huge gaps between the teams, but they hope that it will increase the confidence of the players ahead of Maccabi Netanya.
"The players we brought in January will save us this season," said Hapoel, "We will try to go the furthest in the cup."
Ben Bitton, who excelled yesterday when he scored and cooked for Lidor Cohen, as well as Shlomi Azulai and Ofek Bitton who scored, all arrived in January, and together with Dan Einbinder and Raz Stein they upgraded the team.
Ben Bitton said after the qualification for the quarterfinals: "We are very happy with the victory. We came with the right and good attitude and in the end we made the game easy for us. Such games can be difficult because there are always surprises in the cup, but we did a good job and the goal is to move forward. Only in the league. "
