Summary: Bnei Sakhnin - Hapoel Tel Aviv 1:0 (Sport1)
The residents of Kiryat Shmona did not like, to put it mildly, the victory of Hapoel Tel Aviv 0:1 over Bnei Sakhnin.
The team of Kobi Merafa was severely criticized following its approach to the game and Kiryat Shmona also demand to investigate the game that left their team deep below the red line.
Kiryat Shmona players stung Bnei Sakhnin after their "display" against Hapoel Tel Aviv.
"We knew that we probably couldn't count on Hapoel Tel Aviv losing points," said a Kiryat Shmona player, "It's better that we don't talk and that the Sakhnin players themselves say how they could have displayed such ability, we don't need to rely on anyone."

Another player in the team also continued the same line: "We have to trust only ourselves and not rely on others. Two wins and we believe we will stay in the league."
In the group, they drew encouragement from the other side from Hapoel Haifa's victory over Hapoel Hadera.
"All the best to Hapoel Haifa who behaved like professionals," said the club, "now it's our turn to keep ourselves in the league."
Coach Sloboden Drapić may make some changes to the lineup he started in the victory over Bnei Raina, with Mohamed Shekar and Itamar Shabiru returning to the lineup.
The team is convinced that it is possible to beat Hapoel Tel Aviv and move the decision to the final round.

Eli Zafarani, a member of the city council in Kiryat Shmona, sent a letter this morning to the heads of the association demanding to open an investigation and review the game.
Zafarni stated in the letter: "As you know, Hapoel Tel Aviv and Kiryat Shmona are fighting for survival and a place in the Premier League. A goalkeeper who is suddenly "injured", a player who receives a "red" out of nowhere, and a terribly weak game."
Zafarani added: "To the extent that even Sakhnin's coach Kobi Yarofa said, 'This is the first time in my career that I am helpless as a coach. I am ashamed of what I saw, I don't have much to say. I simply do not believe what I saw today.' These are serious things that require an investigation immediately".
At the end, Zafarani wrote: "I call on the association to investigate this and come to the truth, Israeli football should be free and clean of all kinds of combinations and dirty games."
