Bnei Yehuda - Maccabi PA 3:0, AA Fachem - Hapoel PA 0:0 (Part 1) - voila! sport

2023-05-01T16:20:57.765Z

Maccabi Petah Tikva will be hosted by Bnei Yehuda, Hapoel Petah Tikva will go to Umm El Fahem (19:00) and both can repeat the achievement of Ramat Gani Noshan and ensure their return to the Premier League

In 1982/83, Hekh Ramat Gan and Maccabi Ramat Amidar moved up to the senior (then national) league together, as they had done four years before.

Since then, there has not been a joint ascension of two groups from the same city.

Now the representatives of Malabes can do it.

The leader Maccabi Petah Tikva is staying at Bnei Yehuda in Bloomfield knowing that even a draw will be enough for them, while Hapoel Petah Tikva will play at Umm El Fachem and hope for the stumble of Tiberias City against Hapoel Acre so that its return to the Premier League will also be official.

Celebrating in Bloomfield.

Bnei Yehuda - Maccabi Petah Tikva 3:0

As after the two previous relegations, this time also Maccabi Petah Tikva will return to the Premier League within one season.

The leader of the table overcame a serious crisis during the season that included five consecutive losses and a change of coaches, but made a good run with Benny Lam (an active streak of 13 games without a loss, since the 2:1 in the derby) and hopes to open champagne already in Bloomfield.

Ilya Shekorin (12), Arad Bar (11) and Idan Toklomati (11) will continue to compete for the team's top goalscorer title, while Tal Ben Haim (12) finished the season.

Toklomati on the bench and Guy Dahan in the lineup, with Moti Barshatsky also included in the squad after being absent from the last rounds due to injury.

Opposite is an opponent whom the hosts have already beaten three times this season.

Bnei Yehuda, which has not beaten Maccabi Petah Tikva since February 2018, is just waiting for this season to end, hoping to undergo a fundamental change in the summer to compete for promotion next season.

The course of the game

6th minute: Goal!
0:1 to Maccabi Petah Tikva

The leader started with a storm and scored the goal that may be enough for her to celebrate her return to the Premier League today.

Hindy found Logsi with the outside, who touched a deep ball to Jordan Cohen who scored from close range.

9th minute: Goal!
0:2 to Maccabi Petah Tikva

A celebration of the Malabes in Bloomfield.

Logsi with a second assist, this time raised a ball to Shokurin who hit the second one from the penalty area.

13th minute: Goal!
0:3 Echoes to Maccabi Petah Tikva

Guy Dahan misled the keeper, swung his right leg and from about 18 meters sent a sharp ball to the far corner that was stopped only by the crossbar.

Hapoel Umm Al Fachem - Hapoel Petah Tikva 0:0

The great victory over Urban Tiberias brought Hapoel Petah Tikva closer to the promised land called the Premier League, after eight long and arduous years in Laomit (during which it was even relegated to League A and survived following the relegation of Hapoel Iksel in the court).

To close the story even before the last two rounds, the Malavas have to beat Umm Al Fahm for the third time this season (twice 0:2 during the regular league) and the fifth in a row and hope for Tiberias to lose points.

Even a draw will be enough if the third in the table loses.

The yellowed Ido Davidov is missing for the guest, Jimmy Alexis serves the third game of his suspension and Idan Vared and Idan Shemesh are also ineligible, while Umm Al Fahem is without Solomon Daniel who was suspended in the previous round.

Tiberias City - Hapoel Acre 0:0

The third side in the fight for the promotion can be proud of the season it did after the promotion from League A, but in Money Time it was out of the picture.

The losses to the two Petah Tikvayot left Tiberias six points away from the ticket to the Premier League and she can perhaps postpone the end a little.

It beat Hapoel Acre 0:1 in both meetings this season, but it was missing Gershon Kofi and Eli Bililit, who were sent off last week.

Acre will try to keep the fifth place, in a very successful season for them.
