Then, as the players left the parquet and made their way towards the locker room, more fans entered the parquet, beating two Gilboa players and the club members, including Or Cornelius and captain Yotam Hanochi, and things calmed down only after long minutes.

Things were tense between the parties from the first round, when Cornelius, who grew up in Rishon Lezion, confronted the orange fans and on leaving Maccabi there was a confrontation between him and the fans who were waiting for him, when he allegedly cursed them.
In fact, Rishon Lezion claims, the incident began as a result of a verbal confrontation between Cornelius and a fan who threw a shirt at him.
Then, according to sources in Rishon Lezion, Cornelius pushed the same fan and thus the commotion broke out.
During tonight's game, Gilboa player Sasha Kilya-Jones also teased the orange crowd that cursed him throughout the game, but Jones himself was not involved in the physical incident at the end.
The agitated Cornelius wrote after the game: "I'm just ashamed, ashamed that the whole game is cursing, saying horrible things, spitting on me. .
Following the 85:79 loss, Rishon Lezion came closer to the national league.
The Oranges are two games away from Hapoel Beer Sheva above the red line, three rounds to the end of the season.
Next week, the team will play an away game against Hapoel Eilat.
