Summary: Maccabi Tel Aviv - Maccabi Haifa 0:3 (Sport1)
Maccabi Tel Aviv and Maccabi Haifa were informed today (Wednesday) that they were punished and fined following the delay in starting the intriguing match between them on Monday.
The meeting between the teams started with a delay of 4 minutes, which happened in part because the players of the teams went onto the field with children from the association "Variety" (a non-profit organization that aims to help children with special needs in a variety of ways).
The CEO of Maccabi Haifa explained to the court: "There was a ceremony that was coordinated with the director, the groups were ready to ascend, but because of the youth with special needs, the ceremony was delayed a little, which caused a delay of a minute.
The important thing for us is the community around us."

The court wrote: "There is no doubt that this is a blessed activity of the club, but it is appropriate to be more precise in planning the event so that there is no delay that causes a violation of the broadcast agreements."
Maccabi Haifa was convicted late, but was fined a symbolic amount of NIS 1,000.
Maccabi Tel Aviv was also punished and fined, but the Yellows were also punished for being late following the ceremony in honor of Giura Spiegel.
As mentioned, in total the game started 4 minutes late.
The punishment drew, as expected, sharp criticisms on the net, about the court's insensitivity.
