One good half in enough
Maccabi Tel Aviv's town rival Hapoel Tel Aviv seek for out win at Petach Tikva, no not Maccabi, Hapoel Petach Tikva. Hapoel Tel Aviv started quite well with a goal in the first minute by the Hungarian Gabor Holmay. In the 29^th minute came the goal of the week, Pini "the hair" Balili kicked the ball marvelously from 30 meters and found the net, what a goal, 2-0 Tel Aviv. Soon it became 3-0, Afek pasted 2 defenders, and passed into the box, Abuksis opened his legs and the ball went to Tuama that kicked it in. 3-0 to Hapoel Tel Aviv in the half. Hapoel Tel Aviv went to sleep in the second half and Petach Tikva used it to get 2 goal back.

Petach Tikva wanted to score but Hapoel Tel Aviv defended well, 3-2 it ended. Yossi Rozen said at the end: "thanks for the few who came to cheer and I would be glad to see them next week. Those who came just to curse I have a suggestion- it is still warm, go to the beach instead of coming to our stadium". "Aman" to that.

One for you and one for me
In Ashdod we saw two unsettled teams. Ashdod played good in the first half while BNYI Yehouda were better in the second. In the 36^th minute Regbar found Revivo and the younger brother of Haim Revivo slammed the ball home from 16 meters. BNYI Yehouda started the second half very well, Gafni found the crossbar in the start and minute later in the 51^st minute, Manor Hasan scored after Shirazi's pass. Near the end Foentes stroke another ball that found the bar. Roni Gafni from BNYI Yehouda was sent off in the 81^st minute but 1-1 it ended. David Revivo at the end: "the teams should be satisfied. I scored nice goal shame it wasn’t enough to win".

Nagar Hajaj (celebrate in Hebrew) goal
Irony Rishon Lezion accommodate Hapoel Beer Sheva with a lot of squad problems. But in spite of all the youngsters in the team they went on the scoreboard first. In the 3^rd minute Shei Holtzman uplift a nice ball from the box to the other end and Haim Hajaj headed the ball into the net from 5 meters. From that goal we saw only Hapoel Beer Sheva Taholski missed twice and Abu Laben couldn’t hit the mark also. In the 35^th minute Abu Laben lifted a free kick, Kako headed good but Ben Hamo turn away the all to Nagar that headed from near angle, 1-1. Beer Sheva's Taholski kept missing and in the other end Hajaj couldn’t score again, 1-1 it ended.
