First test match for the squad. Farber, Turiella, and Israelov scored
Hapoel held a training match this morning (Friday) against Bnei Yehuda at the Hadar Yosef Stadium.
Bnei Yehuda took an early lead after 4 minutes, and despite several good chances for Hapoel, they maintained their advantage until the break. In the 56th minute, Yonatan Farber took a free kick from the left side with his right foot, curled it brilliantly inside, and equalized to 1-1.
Four minutes later, the Oranges regained the lead. In the 75th minute, Toriel took a free kick from the right side with his left foot - in the opposite direction of Farber—and smashed it in to make it 2-2. Bnei Yehuda took the lead once more, but Hapoel did not give up: eight minutes before the final whistle, Leidner crossed from the left, and Or Israelov headed it home to set the final score.
The team will fly out on Monday (July 6) for a ten-day training camp in Slovakia, during which they will play three preparation matches - details of which will be provided later.
