Bnei Yehuda's ambitions for a place in the top playoffs were damaged, and it left the first eight, making way for Hapoel Kfar Saba, which defeated the penultimate team in the table, Hapoel Nof HaGalil, 0:3.
The team from Sharon returned from the away game smiling with the eighth place thanks to goals by Iyad Haj (33), Yoel Avichatira (67) and Evgeny Barkman with an own goal in the 72nd minute.
Hapoel Umm El Fahm missed an opportunity to get close to second place as well, when they ended the away match against Hapoel Rishon Lezion with a 1:1 draw.
The hosts took the lead with a goal by their top scorer, Mohamed Bamba (67), but the advantage lasted only 4 minutes until Kobe Moore equalized (71).
Umm El Fahm hoped for a change, but in vain.
