Hapoel IBI Tel Aviv recorded a dominant afternoon win over Hapoel Petah Tikva in Matchweek 13 of the Winner League
The team entered the encounter determined to erase the impression left by its previous defeat. That loss had snapped a positive stretch of three league matches without defeat. From the opening whistle, Hapoel dictated the tempo and took full control of the pitch.
In the 12th minute, Stav Turiel delivered a precise low cross to Loizos Loizou, who finished with a single touch to secure an early lead.
In the 28th minute, Andrian Kraev and Daniel Dappa combined for a midfield interception. Dappa quickly released the ball to the Bulgarian, who struck home with a first-time finish for the second goal.
Hapoel continued to dominate and added a third in the 68th minute. Omri Altman threaded a perfect through-ball to Stav Turiel, the team’s leading scorer, who finished clinically once again for his eighth goal of the season and Hapoel’s third of the match.
The fourth arrived in the 77th minute. Altman floated in a cross from the left, Orel Degani attempted to clear, but diverted the ball into his own net, sealing an impressive 4:0 scoreline.
The victory concludes Hapoel’s first round of the season. The team now stands in fourth place with 21 points, after a two-point deduction, and holds a goal tally of 24 scored and 16 conceded.
