Round 8 of the National Cup, attended by Premier League teams, kicked off tonight (Thursday) with a surprise sponsored by M.S. Kassem village of the National League, who live 0: 1 on Hapoel KP of Ophir Haim. Hapoel Afula passed Hapoel Ashkelon with 1: 2 home.

Although she returned to the league after seven games, Ophir Haim's team found themselves out of the Cup before the eighth stage, and it happened against the team that ranks fifth in the National League. Kafr Qasem recorded a second consecutive qualifying round for the eighth, thanks to a great punch in the 60th minute by Jordan Cohen, who made the difference with an exemplary performance.

Hapoel Afula - Hapoel Ashkelon 1: 2

There's a nice guy named Albert who comes to every game of Hapoel Afula. Of these characters who are part of a landscape. It's like a Noma in Betar or Vasili in Haifa. But even Albert seemed drowsy before the Cup game against Hapoel Ashkelon. "It's like watching a national game, couldn't bring Maccabi TA here?" He asked.

Explain to him that Maccabi Tel Aviv will actually come to Afula, but it will happen in the evening when Om El-Fahm will host the Premier League. Afula will have another chance to organize its raffle fans in front of a large group. She defeated Ashkelon 1: 2 with two pendulums (rightly) arranged by Judge Whitley Bondarb.

Local coach Shlomi Dora has already experienced the Premier League and perhaps through Afula he will return there. Dora has the insanity, is active on the lines and has a passion. Afula is still in last place nationally (one victory, Dora came in the tenth cycle) but maybe the Cup qualifier will give some oxygen in the empty balloon of the valley's capital. Dora went to Hapoel Ashkelon at the expense of separating her from the summer after leaving her in the league against all odds and shaky financial situation.
