Itai Boganim equalized in the 115th minute and sent the game to a duel from the penalty spot, where Roi Ben Shimon missed the last kick and determined that Yossi Aboksis should say goodbye to the cup he won last season with Hapoel Beer Sheva.
Hapoel Haifa, which lacked many players due to dismissals and Corona, also got revenge on its opponent for the loss in the quarterfinals last season.

If he is a loser it would lower everyone morally and I am glad we did.
You have to gain confidence in the league as well. "The
striker commented that he has not yet become a regular player:" I talk a lot with Haim (Sylves), I'm not fit for 90 minutes and he knows it.

Disappointed
Yossi Aboksis

Absorb in the 115th minute - when our player was injured - it shows "Naive. We have goals in the league, we will continue there."
On Wednesday, the Goldens will host the Kiryat Shmona team for the final game of the cup and will try to improve their dismal situation in the table.
