The youth team finished with a share of the points against the Jerusalem side. Olezki was sent off, Masika scored
The youth team faced Beitar Jerusalem on Saturday in Round 14 of the Youth Premier League, in an away match held at Lod Stadium.
Hapoel came into its third match in three days (a midweek round was played). As a reminder, last Saturday they defeated Hapoel Haifa 2:0, and on Tuesday beat Kiryat Shmona 1:0.
In the 60th minute, Ravid Olezki was sent off after receiving a second yellow card, leaving Hapoel with ten men. The hosts took the lead in the 78th minute, but three minutes before the end of regulation time Hapoel managed to equalize thanks to a second consecutive goal by Or Masika, who scored his sixth goal of the season.
Shahar Weisinger’s side remains top of the table with 31 points from a possible 42, two points clear of second-placed Maccabi Haifa (with a game in hand). In the next round, to be played next Saturday (Dec 27), they will host M.S. Ashdod - kickoff time to be announced.
Hapoel lineup: Yanal Bazadog, Yarin Shyovitz, Guy Aligolashvili, Giorgi Kuperva, Ilay Mori (Mkay Benbenisty, 81’), Itamar Chosyd (Ben Zaid, 81’), Yishai Brosh, Alon Moskovitz (Idan Kaplaner, 58’), Ron Talmi (Or Masika, 72’), Ravid Olezki, and Omri Levy (Shahar Nahum, 58’).
