The 32nd round of the National League kicked off today with five games and created some more drama in the struggles of promotion and survival.
Hapoel Umm al-Fahm - Ness Ziona 2: 1 section.
The guest arrived at the game with a momentum of three consecutive victories and met an opponent who was busy most of the week with everything but football, due to the involvement of the townspeople in the terrorist attack in Hadera.
The hosts' shock was evident from the first moment and already in the 10th minute the scoreboard showed 0: 2 to Nes Ziona, which was scored by Ismail Ryan (2) and Dudu Bitton (10) from Ryan's cooking.
Umm al-Fahm reset itself pretty quickly and managed to shrink already in the 17th minute with an accurate penalty by Guy Dahan, but by the end no more goals were scored.
Ness Ziona temporarily jumped to second place at the expense of MS Kfar Qassem, which will complete its game in this round this coming Monday.
AS Ashdod - Bnei Yehuda 1: 3.
After a zeroed first half, the team from the Hatikva neighborhood continued to disappoint and within 11 minutes conceded three goals.
Itamar Noy made it 0: 1 for the host in the 53rd minute, and two worries later he also doubled the result.
In the 64th minute, it was Lishi Bitton's turn to score against Bnei Yehuda's defenselessness and thus decided the game.
In the 76th minute, Silva Kani from Bnei Yehuda managed to shrink up close, but there is no consolation for Nisso Avitan's embarrassing team.
In the lower playoffs, the overcrowding continues, after Hapoel Rishon LeZion and Hapoel Ramat Hasharon parted ways with a draw (2: 2), as did Hapoel Afula and Hapoel Acre (0: 0).
Closing the table Betar Tel Aviv / Bat Yam continues to get closer to the first division after suffering a foreign defeat in Ilut, 3: 0 to my brother Nazareth, which moved away from the relegation struggles.
