Summary: Maccabi Haifa - Maccabi Tel Aviv 0:2/Sport1
The legal revolution announced by the Football Association at the beginning of the season, which includes the cancellation of radius penalties, games without an audience and the closing of home fields, created an almost unprecedented situation this season.
Half a season is behind us, and four teams have already been punished with points reduction.
In fact, close to a third of the league's teams have already suffered the new trendy punishment of the referees this season.
Maccabi Tel Aviv is the latest "victim".
After a point was deducted from its balance due to a riot of fans under aggravating circumstances in the Tel Aviv derby, it dropped to second place in the table and Maccabi Haifa won from the loser and rose to the top for the first time this season.
But of course Maccabi Tel Aviv is not alone.
Maccabi Haifa itself suffered a reduction of a point from its balance following a fan riot under aggravating circumstances in the "Champion of Champions" game against Beitar Jerusalem.
That Beitar Jerusalem is known to carry a minus of 4 points from the beginning of the season, a reminder of the mass invasion of the lawn at the end of the State Cup final against Maccabi Netanya
Bnei Sakhnin is the fourth team to be punished by dropping points.
As in similar cases, this time also a section of fan rioting under aggravating circumstances in the away game against Maccabi Haifa, caused the referees to apply a penalty of one point reduction.
This time Maccabi Haifa won from the loser, but what will happen next?/Maor Alxalsi
So what would the Premier League table look like if it weren't for these penalties?
Not very different at the top and bottom, but different.
Naturally, Beitar Jerusalem is the main victim. If they had started the season without a minus, the Jerusalemites would now be ranked in sixth place leading to the top playoffs. Bnei Sakhnin could have been close to its sworn rival, which would have pushed Maccabi Netanya to eighth place and Hapoel Tel Aviv to the ninth

The obvious question is where it will end.
Currently, against half of the teams in the Premier League there is a conditional points reduction penalty, and any activation of such a penalty may further change the picture in the table.
Maccabi Tel Aviv, M.S.
Ashdod and Beitar Jerusalem are in danger of deducting 3 points. At Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ashdod, the penalty will be applied in the event of a large crowd breaking in. At Beitar, this will happen in the event of a fan riot under aggravating circumstances.
Against Hapoel Tel Aviv there is a conditional penalty of two point deduction in the event of a fan riot using pyrotechnics.
Also, Maccabi Haifa, Bnei Sakhnin and Hapoel Beer Sheva carry a penalty of one point reduction on a conditional basis.
The leader will try to avoid being charged with fan rioting under aggravating circumstances, her deputy from being charged with racist chants.
Sakhnin's suspended sentence is for inappropriate behavior.
