Summary: Hapoel Jerusalem - Maccabi Tel Aviv 3: 1 (Sport 1)
Aviad Shiloah, the referee for the game between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Jerusalem last night (Saturday) at Teddy Stadium, tonight filed a complaint with the Zevulun police following threats against him and his family members that were sent to him on his personal cell phone and social networks. Shiloah, as I recall, caused a stir following an incorrect red card he waved at Matan Hozaz in the second half, before Maccabi Tel Aviv won twice and ended the game with a dramatic 1: 3 victory.
The general manager of the Judges' Union, Yariv Tepper, said in response to the developments: "Aviad updated earlier about the threats sent to him and our directive was clear - to file a complaint with the police.
Criticism of judgment is legitimate, but as of yesterday the fine line between it and wild incitement has been crossed.
It is better that everyone who shares this madness stops here and now.
I expect the Maccabi Tel Aviv football club to state unequivocally and officially its position on the issue.
Shiloah made a mistake yesterday in a number of decisions, as owners, coaches and players make mistakes.
The association will continue to act professionally in favor of the highest possible quality of judgment.
The Israel Police, I am sure, will work to locate those criminals who dared to threaten to harm a football referee. "

After the game, India also admitted to the referees that Shiloah made some problematic decisions in the game, criticized him and his team, and admitted that his weak display would affect his innings in the coming rounds.
