Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv continued its training matches during the wartime period this morning, hosting Hapoel Kfar Saba at the Bat Yam Municipal Stadium. A winning goal by Moskovitz gave Hapoel a 3-2 victory.
Hapoel held its third training match of the wartime period this morning as it hosted second-tier Hapoel Kfar Saba.
Hapoel's starting lineup: Assaf Tzur, Shahar Piven, Tal Archel, Fernand Mayembo, Ziv Morgan, Yazan Nassar, El Yam Kancepolsky, Omri Altman, Doron Leidner, Stav Toriel, and Omri Levi.
The Reds took an early lead in the 11th minute. Yazan Nassar crossed the ball from the left wing, a Kfar Saba center-back headed it backwards, and the ball reached Stav Toriel, who deceived his marker and fired a shot into the far corner. 1-0 to Hapoel.
In the 42nd minute, the visitors managed to equalize at 1-1, a scoreline that held until the half-time break.
In the 84th minute, an individual effort by Olitzky ended with a foul in the penalty area, resulting in a penalty kick awarded to Hapoel. A minute later, Mor Buskila stepped up to the spot and converted it confidently. 2-1 to Hapoel.
In the 89th minute, Kfar Saba equalized again to make it 2-2, and the match seemed destined for a draw, but the drama was not over. Deep into stoppage time, in the 90+2 minute, a through ball from Ron Talmi found Olitzky, who executed a brilliant dummy to let the ball roll through his legs. Alon Moskovitz, arriving from behind, unleashed a powerful strike into the roof of the net to seal a 3-2 victory for Hapoel.
