The Youth Team Falls 2–0 to Maccabi Haifa. Winning Streak Ends
The youth team hosted Maccabi Haifa this Saturday in the 10th round of the Youth Premier League. The match took place at the Lod Stadium due to pitch renovation at the Bat Yam Stadium.
Shahar Wizinger’s players came into the match aiming for a seventh straight victory, after an impressive run of six consecutive wins and four clean sheets.
Hapoel conceded goals in the 21st and 75th minutes, as the match ended in a 2–0 victory for the visitors from Haifa.
Despite the loss, Hapoel remains at the top of the table with 21 points out of a possible 30 and a superior goal difference over second-placed Beitar Jerusalem.
The team now enters a short break for pitch maintenance and will return to action later this month in the third round of the Youth State Cup, when they host Hapoel Herzliya. League play is set to resume on December 6, with Hapoel visiting Hapoel Ra’anana.
Hapoel lineup: Yinal Bazadog, Guy Eligolashvili, Elad Ben Shimon, Giorgi Kuperva, Ilay Mori (Henly Agbo, 76’), Yishai Brosh, Itamar Husid, Idan Kaplaner (Ron Talmi, 56’), Alon Moskovich (Ben Zaid, 76’), Ravid Ulitzky (Or Mesika, 63’), and Omri Levy (Shahar Nahum, 56’).
