Israel State Cup Quarterfinals Summary: MS Ashdod - Hapoel Petah Tikva 2:4 (Sport1)
After Maccabi Petah Tikva celebrated aliyah and also secured the National League championship, tonight (Monday, 19:00) Hapoel Petah Tikva is supposed to join it as the second immigrant and return to the Premier League after eight long years. The Malabas host Bnei Yehuda knowing that even a point will be enough to seal second place, with third-placed Ironi Tiberias hosting Hapoel um El Fahm in Afula with no real chance of overtaking (a difference of six points and nine goals with only two rounds remaining).

Hapoel Petah Tikva - Bnei Yehuda
The loss in um al-Fahm postponed Hapoel Petah Tikva's celebrations, but at home and with the support of some 10,000 fans, it should already be a real blue party that will end eight years in the second division, during which the team went through hardships, relegation to Liga Alef and was saved under the auspices of the court that demoted Ixel, became a group of fans and was revived. Jimmy Alexis and Ido Davidov returned from suspensions to the lineup to complete the job and give Ofer Teslapapa a second boost in his coaching career. Idan Vered also returns and waits on the bench, while Idan Shemesh continues to be absent. Bnei Yehuda comes after the humiliating 7-0 defeat to Maccabi Petah Tikva and the decision to part ways with Elisha Levy at the end of the season, presenting a secondary lineup and trying to sting with Yaniv Mizrahi on the sidelines, but the hosts do not forget that this is the only opponent they have lost in both meetings in the regular league (1:0 away and 2:0 away At home).

Ironi Tiberias - Hapoel um al-Fahm
Theoretically, Tiberias still has a chance to catch up with Hapoel Petah Tikva, but the losses to the two Malavasias took the wind out of Eliran Hodda's team and we got evidence of this in the 4-0 defeat against Acre last week. um al-Fahm already beat Tiberias at the Afula Stadium three months ago and will move past them in the table if they register another win and break a run of three away losses. The yellow-carded Abu Shakir is missing a visitor, Tiberias without Nir Abergil for the same reason.
