Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv opened the second round of the Winner League with a dramatic 2:2 draw against Hapoel Kiryat Shmona. Stav Toriel and Roei Alkukin both scored and assisted one another.
Hapoel began the match at a high tempo, applying early pressure on the northern side in the fixture that marked the start of the league’s second round.
The dominance was reflected as early as the seventh minute. A superb cross from Stav Toriel found Roei Alkukin, who bundled the ball home to give Hapoel an early lead. It was Alkukin’s third league goal of the season.
The Reds continued to control proceedings, with Daniel Dappa getting into several promising positions but unable to extend the advantage. The first half ended with a 0:1 lead for Hapoel.
Early in the second half, another impressive team move followed. A perfectly weighted through ball from Dappa put Alkukin and Toriel through on goal. The young midfielder selflessly set up Toriel, who made no mistake and scored his ninth league goal of the season to double the lead.
In the 78th minute, a VAR intervention changed the course of the match. Alkukin was shown a red card, forcing Hapoel to play the closing stages with ten men.
The drama reached its peak deep into an unusually long stoppage time that lasted no less than 17 minutes. In the 98th minute, a penalty was awarded to the home side following a foul that was ruled to have occurred outside the box. The penalty was converted, and the match ended in a 2:2 draw.

The first meeting between the clubs took place in December 2007, when Hapoel was stunned at Bloomfield by the newly-promoted side and lost 1:0.
In the years that followed, Hapoel recorded several notable victories, including the 4:2 win in May 2014. Lucas Sasha, Gili Vermouth (brace), and Ori Cohen scored to secure the victory.
Hapoel enters the match with a run of seven consecutive league games without defeat against the northern opponent, including five wins and two draws.
The youth team came back from a 2:0 deficit to beat Hapoel Ra’anana 4:2, maintaining first place. Talmi and Nahum each scored twice.
The youth team visited Hapoel Ra’anana this Saturday in the 11th round of the Youth Premier League. League play resumed after a month-long break, and Hapoel wanted to keep its place at the top of the table against a mid-table opponent - and that’s exactly what happened after a dramatic match.
The game didn’t start well for Shahar Weisinger’s squad, who conceded first in the 13th minute after a defensive error. Later in the first half, Ravid Olezki drew a penalty and stepped up to take it from the spot, but sent it wide. Ra’anana doubled their lead at the start of the second half, and from there - the turnaround began.
In the 72nd minute, Ron Talmi set up a beautiful assist for Shahar Nahum, who finished with a one-touch shot to make it 2:1. Six minutes later, Giorgi Kuperava sent a cross into the box, and Ron Talmi equalized with a brilliant bicycle kick to make it 2:2. Hapoel pushed for the win and got it in the 90th minute, with Talmi again on target - pouncing on a rebound and firing into the keeper’s left corner. Shahar Nahum also completed his brace after breaking into the box, beating his marker, and finishing into the net.
Head coach Shahar Weisinger said afterward: This win is a significant milestone in our process and in our season. Even though we played well, we fell behind 2:0, but we never stopped playing our football. Fortunately, we managed to turn it around and win. I’m proud of the players and the staff.
Hapoel, as mentioned, kept its place at the top of the table with 24 points out of a possible 33. In the next round, which will take place on Saturday (13.12, 16:15), the team will host Hapoel Haifa at the Bat Yam Stadium.
